I check the subscription records on one of my lists and found
[log in to unmask] subscribed to the list with a real name of Bill A.
Jones. I decided to do a whois on the domain and found (surprise, surprise)
the administrative contact is Jason Klapste and his e-mail is
[log in to unmask]

I have update the subscription options (quietly of course) to index. I think
the html version of index should be a nice touch.
