Thanks for the suggestion.  If you're OK with other people scanning
the machine you set up for this purpose, you're certainly welcome to
announce the IP address here on nmap-dev and/or other email addresses
or social networks you might use.  You can even give it a memorable
DNS name so people might recall it in a pinch.

Cheers,
Fyodor
