Does anybody know if corporations sell mailing lists of their employees?  
Some of it may be from enumerations.  Some of it could be from real-estate
firms.  I was living with my parents at the time, and was surprised to
see that they had correctly identified me as a "son" of the house owner, 
and where I was working.

I think it was called "The Brown Index", published by "Brown Publishing" 
in Toronto ("B"-something anyways) and I saw it in a real estate office.  
Had a blurb in the cover about "Being the property of Brown Publishing" 
and had to be returned.  (I snooped while our agent was negotiating with
the other party...)
