If I subscribe to a mailing list I do this to read the mailing list, AND NOT to find my name retrievable by a name server. If this would be my intention I would registrate my name. But it is not my intention. Who cares who I am? Thomas P.S.: For the same reason all lists at DB0TUI11 are set to Review= Owner. To be review-able is a side effect which is unknown to many subscribers (and isn't brought to their attention). Before I can give away data about a person I have to ask that person.
