About this list:this list. If you want
to build your own list, collecting names from as many sources as you can get your
hands on, fine. And if in the course of doing so you make reference to my list,
that's fine, too. But if you were to copy this list (with or without the links)
and replace my signature with yours... oh, why would you want to do that? Don't. Thank you.
