Actually, I recall you offering your list a little over 2 years ago,
December 2007.

As a pundit once said over 3 years ago:

Sounds like you have mainly a list of MPE obituaries for the last 13 years
(out of your 20 years), based on your statements.  You worked for a
countless number of companies migrating off MPE as fast as they could
between 1997 and 2006?  Wouldn't seem like there was enough companies left
for any kind of useful HP3000 contact list today.

Whoa, this sounds like you might have collected some information illegally!
Could there be some identity theft liabilities here?

Seriously, what kinds of information are you selling here?  What are the
liabilities?  Why the secrecy?

How valuable is this information?  It seems that you have been looking for
work almost continually for the last few years, sometimes desperately.  What
does that say about the value your lists?  Just last year, August 11, you
were looking for a list of current HP3000 owners.  Why?  You have stated
many times how in touch you are and how complete your first list was 2 years
ago.  Any references for your previous list besides John Stephens?

No, no, please let me buy you "coffe" and show you the wonders of the Yahoo

You are too kind, and VERY "impresive" grammatically too!
