I assumed from your comments that you thought competitive industries
might not be welcomed by the intended audience. 

I personally think it should be open to all, since one way or another,
the Big Brother corporations out there will nose in or lurk anyway. 

By setting up a separate list for them to monitor, we might at least
make it more difficult for them, or their hired lurking guns.  Believe
me, they are out there.
