Declan,

I asked a spokeswoman from DARPA about this the other day.

Her written response in full:

"We review and adjust our web site periodically."

Total information runs one way, it seems.

Probably not worth publishing to the list, but you are welcome to do so.

My AI-powered terrorist-detector (which I' ve built with $5 of radio shack
