 You mean he won't list a system that he can verify exists? That's
called journalistic responsibility.

 I wonder how many BOGUS systems there are out there.

 Great, posting to a news group you don't read to call a list of
verifiable numbers bogus because it doesn't give his service bureau
free advertising. Then ASKS people to CROSS-POST so that this drivel
can be triplicated. If there is anything bogus going on it's asking
to be included in a phone list without giving out the number. Yes
put my name in the phone book, but don't put my number in there. Then
after encouraging cross posting to comp.misc (mocking the hierarchy
and increasing the bandwidth) you go on to post the contents of private
email. In which you harass someone for providing a free public service.

 You can make your own lists all you like and use whatever policies
your greedy and narrow mind will delight in.  I won't be surprise if
you have to pay before you can see the list. I'd send you email, but
I have a problem with people who post email on the net. I think it's
unethical and you've already demonstrated that you are every bit
that.
