Hello Jai,

it's a publicly accesible email list, with open archives

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=ecb-list

and accessible from other sites as well

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.code-browser/2531

Just google for:
http://www.google.de/search?q=jdayal+sandia

and find your email address there.

So, no need for selling anything that can be easily crawled automatically.

Hope to help,
Daniel
