    Declan,
    
    I asked a spokeswoman from DARPA about this the other day.
    
    Her written response in full:
    
    "We review and adjust our web site periodically."
    
    Total information runs one way, it seems.
    
    Probably not worth publishing to the list, but you are welcome to do so.

    Removed their bios.....hmm....how unusual.  However these same individuals 
    are apparently *very* comfortable with compiling massive dossiers on the 
    rest of us.  Imagine that.

    My AI-powered terrorist-detector (which I' ve built with $5 of radio shack
    parts) has just peaked!!. Did I just read something about re-publishing
    sensitive information like biographies???
    
    Richard, do you hear a chopper above your house, right-this-minute?. ;-))
