[Sca-List] Hard copy - Directory??

[Baron, Meg]

I don't believe that restriction applies to a printed,
private-distribution-list directory. The problem comes in when the
publication is electronic - because anyone and their dog can get at it.
Modern privacy standards prohibit public (ie to anyone in the universe)
dissemination of personal information. We've had printed directories for
years (okay, it's been awhile, but this is not a new thing). Note the
the phone company has no problem with this - you have to pay extra to
NOT have your information published in the phone book...
