I'm very curious to know whose opinion it is that this is "a serious
case of considerable public importance."
I guess that the EFA may consider it thus, but for the general
public??? To consider it serious. And why would the public consider
it important to get "hold of page titles and URLs" of this stuff.
Surely it's a list that can only be abused.
