Well, since you ask, my initial reaction was "over my dead body." I got an
unofficial legalistic corroboration of that from a source who prefers to be
anonymous, but don't even ask me to forfeit my patrons' privacy for some

As long as we're in Convention Week--remember Zoia Horne. She went to jail
on behalf of her principles (related to releasing library information, in
the hectic 60s).
