I think most companies would consider this kind of list to be 
proprietary information. Selling it to others for your own benefit IS
stealing -- and may be grounds for FIRING! 

Before sending, I suggest you ask your boss. CYA!

How much faith could we have in the accuracy of such a list when your
posting is full of grammatical errors, and spammed to misspelled and
inappropriate newsgroups? Inquiring minds want to know!

Sounds VERY suspicious to me! 

Please keep your crap out of this newsgroup.
