  But then another dogooder listowner like a couple on here could send
in THEIR lists....to be deleted.  Hell, I'd be adding my name every
other week depending on who last zapped me.

  There are no rights or laws regarding list usage, other than whatever
controls the listowner and/or the listmembers have established for themselves.
It is still theft if someone takes the hundred dollar bill you left on the
park bench.....but good luck getting a conviction of the culprit.

  Nothing was stolen.  Mario doesn't own the representation of his name
and address on your list....or anywhere else like that.  Nor do you
(or I) "own" it in any legal sense, including copyright, if your name is
on one of my lists.
