Yet... yet... the news media and the police do it all the time.

Obviously there's a way do to this.

Nothing can bullet proof anybody, particularly in the US legal climate.

But being transparent and honest about listing criteria can do a lot to shift most of the onus on the list _user_ who has made a conscious choice to use it and accept responsibility for it.

After all, if Seth published a "random number BL", announced it exactly as such with big red "you're an idiot to use this" banner all over the web pages, just how successful do you think someone [sh|w]ould be suing him?
