Umm... yeah. Why was I under this impression? Because Jim said so:
I created a new e-mail address strictly for the purpose of sending reports when they are available.
How on earth could you read that description and expect it to be an "open" list? Furthermore, I haven't received a single e-mail from that list that was something other than an IDCC research report, sent by Jim. Thus, the several hundred other members of that list obviously understood what its purpose is. You are the only one who doesn't seem to get it.
