I've not myself seen any, Scott, and yours is the first report.

But, for the record:

*IT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO SCRAPE THIS LIST OR IT'S ARCHIVE
FOR EMAIL ADDRESSES FOR COMMERCIAL EMAIL*.

If a list member *solicits* suggestions, recommendations, or quotes, that's
another thing.

The fact that I had to say it concerning these lists should not be considered
evidence for exceptio probat regulum: it's *never* OK to do that.  Anywhere.
