This seems like a great idea, but unless I'm missing something you are
making all interested parties maintain their own copies of the database.
This seems silly.  Why not just maintain it yourself and post the current
version every month with a one-month expiration date?  I know there's no
way I'm going to bother doing anything with all those DB ADD etc. postings.
If I can't get the information instantly with one simple command (either
a grep or some db extraction command provided through comp.archives),
then forget it.
