I am concerned about the legal aspects as it pertains to you, Norm
P, in the event it is accessed and used by others in a manner that someone
not on the net might misconstrue. Let the Alumni Association take the risk.
We can get it there if we want it. I believe this is the same data that
comes out in the Register of Alumni each year, without perhaps the e-mail
address. My latest, 1995 would be pre e-mail. Also Spouse is not in my
95 edition. However, BZ for the effort and the idea.
Webmaster Note: The database comes from the USNA and not the USNAAA.

Norm: I'm still unsure about getting a lot of spam/ telemarketing nausea
if the database is used by marketeers. However, I'd like to have the Excel
database. You could offer that as an attachment via the listserv. Meanwhile,
I don't think we should open our private parts to the World Wide Web.
Donald Loosley (07) voted May 20, 2000.
Yes
Excel seems OK to me.
James P. Kelly Jr. voted May 20, 2000.
Yes.
Are all 55 members in the Alumni data base? Some, like me, may not
be members of the Association.

I sent Jim a copy of info.
Ed Ogden voted May 21, 2000.
No
I do not like the idea of phone numbers and eMail addresses being available
at the web site or for download for several reasons. First, there is the
problem of maintaining this information current particularly the eMail
addresses as people do change ISP's. Second, my phone number is unlisted
because I like it that way but I still get calls for salesmen etc. Third,
I get too much junk eMail now. If you feel you really have to include the
data base for our class then I would hope that you can do it so that it
can only be accessed by our classmates.
Webmaster Note: The database comes from the USNA and not the USNAAA
and a password protect can be added to limit access.

Robert C. Rice voted May 28, 2000.
Yes
I am not concerned about privacy issues if search engines are stopped
by html code. That would stop most of it.
C.T.Fuqua III voted May 28, 2000.
Yes
Restrict or block access by search and mail robots..or I would vote
"No"..P.S. How 694? My transcript shows 742..shouldn't we keep track of
dead, widows, etc.?
Webmaster Note: 742 is correct for those who graduated. But this list
includes non-grads and excludes about 24 unaccoutables.
Norm Harper (4) voted May 28, 2000.
Yes
Vote changed to yes based on addition of the password and the HTML
search engine block. Good work, Norm.
Bob Binish voted May 29, 2000.

I would like to know where classmates are in the country, or out of
it.
Al in Isleton, CA aboard BROAD REACHER, my Freedom 28 sailboat.
Jerry Gerdon (16) voted Jun 5, 2000.
Yes
Norm, I would prefer having the file available for downloading, preferably
in HTML as I doubt I would be able to open the Excel file on my iMac, I
don't have the latest translators.
Pat Taylor voted Jun 5, 2000.
Yes
I like the idea of an Excel file and the capability to view it, once
downloaded, in offline status. Is it necessary to include all 13 columns
of the Alum database??? (My copy of the Alum data base...12 columns...suggests
that we could dispense with column 3/middle name; column 5/Grad-NonGrad
status;and -column 6/spouse.) With the list password protected, the average
curious George isn't going to gain access, right?
Webmaster Note: Yes to all.
