I figure it's worth reminding folks here at least once a year or so of how and why this group got created. The data is rather old, but nothing has superseded it and it contain no expiration date. However, the moderators mentioned in it appear to have been inactive for some time.
Casey West created the group and Ask Bjorn Hansen implemented it in April 2001. Rather than paraphrase his reasons for creating the list, I'll let his words speak for themselves.
