Hum...I may just do that, if I have time. Perhaps I will have time to put
all my current sets in there to begin with and then set up a normal mailing
submission route as well. Probably more work than I want/need, but I'll
see. Thought maybe someone had already done it...grin.
Guess the other route is to search this newsgroup for each and every set
number and try to find .dat's and then request permission to use on a
centralized database...

Ah...didn't even think of doing that, Thanks!
I'll send the registered email on the domain an email and see what I can
find out. Seems strange that a site like that wouldn't have any sort of
"contact" information...
