Security thorugh ignorance,  eh? As you say the information  has been there
as  well as  the means  to access  it. More  than a  year ago  I've written
something to  make this information  available via gopher. Didn't  warn the
administrators  though ...  more than  four  years ago  I complained  about
GLOBAL lists which either duplicated existing names without peering or were
clearly meant  for local purposes  and thus should  have been defined  in a
manner which would hide them from the world.
As LISTSERV administrator  I always made sure that  the owner(s) understand
the concept  of the Confidential,  Subscription, Review, and  Send keywords
and their effect.

P.S.: can't  speak how the  information is fetched by  TILE, all I  can say
that it is not as up-to-date as it could be, ie not more than 24 hours old.
