Hmm... where do you see that in the list?  There is a problem, I agree, but I 
don't see nodelister.pl in the list.

I see CRLF at the end of the domain field in a lot of the entries, and yes, 
that would cause problems.

Jame Clay creates the list but he hadn't been able to make a new list in a long 
time because he was moving to more permanent location.  I believe that is 
resolved now.  I'll contact him and ask him to get out a new version.

Take care,
Janis
