There are 30+ "databases"... and while the rhetoric machine says that "...information sharing is a priority..." and it probably would be a great idea to get this whole "listing" thing right, I wouldn't put a prayer into it actually becoming "useful". I speak as someone who has also had a "security clearance" in the past, but the times -- they are a changin'. Chances are, we're all in someone's database somewhere. And the likelihood of you finding out about apriori are probably nil. As my friend & colleague Scott Bradner just recently reminded me [1], Mr. Charrington never exposed himself as a member of the Thought Police. There are lots of lists, unfortunately. "Main Core" is the Crucible [2] of the modern times, yet a replay of fear-mongering that has played itslef out many times over the course of human history. - - ferg [1] http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/2008/052008-bradner.html [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crucible -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.6.3 (Build 3017) wj8DBQFINQKZq1pz9mNUZTMRAl9BAKDn2PN5+JSvrqqKbB1xZso4DTWKOQCeMFfA cZQbJGJz2jft9Mcy8Tl99f8= =XTwB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
