That is, it was unintentional... ] The original keeper of the list gave up maintenance. The last thing he did as the maintainer was to post the data and software on the net. I don't know if someone has taken the task since, but I doubt it for no one has announced anything to that extent (please correct if I'm wrong). I might have an old version of "Amiga Companion" somewhere, and will post it if I find it. By the way, was the purpose really to gather information on experts? If memory serves me, the list was open to contribution by anyone interested in some Amiga-related topic or topics (e.g., C programming in the Amiga environment), not just experts.
