First of all, mailing lists go for pennies, if that, per person.
Second, I can't think of a better way to drive people away from USMS than to sell our membership rolls for a few dollars so I can get more junk mail/spam. This would be a dramatic step backwards for USMS, something most organizations long ago ruled out.
