What is the Infobroker Mailing List?

It is the Internet's FIRST and FREE mailing list strictly for Information Brokers and information professionals working with and developing investigative-oriented data and public records and information. It is important to note that while private investigators and other similar professionals (attorneys, paralegals et al) are not restricted from joining this list, all posted notes written to the collective membership must be relative in dealing with issues important and geared toward the information broker industry.

Who is the Owner?

The owner of Info-Broker is Dig Dirt Inc., an international information company specializing in investigative information.

Moderated v. Unmoderated

This list is not moderated in the sense that we do not edit content whatsoever or withhold certain posts because we may not like or agree with them, etc. The First Amendment is what makes this country a very special and a fortunate nation. The decision on whether or not to edit other peoplešs posts then, was rather simple based on this foundation. For instance, any piece of information in a post can benefit any other list subscriber. Therefore, it makes little sense to withhold or screen any information on a list that is meant to serve information professionals by broadening their intellectual base. Information truly is power and we have no plans on kidney punching Hercules by watering down content.

Membership to the list, however, is screened for everyonešs protection. Members of the general public, as well as other individuals, including members of the media, or anyone else without a legitimate business reason, are barred from joining this list. Comprehensive controls have been implemented to ensure against such outside, unwanted, and unwarranted infiltration.

Who helps with the List?

Beyond the contributions of Dig Dirt and its affiliated agents and sources, the Infobroker list is sponsored by: The Virtual Librarian and is hosted by WebCircle Design Services.

Rules of the list

These are the rules of the list. They are simple and straightforward. I ask that all members of the list adhere to them.

  1. Everyone on the list is a professional and should act as such.
  2. No foul language is to be directed at anyone on the list, if you want to flame them, do it in PRIVATE.
  3. If you must comment on a post, make sure that it is something the GROUP will benefit from.
  4. Please avoid sending out one or two line replies to a note, unless the GROUP will benefit from it.
  5. FLAMES ARE NOT ALLOWED! If you MUST FLAME, then do it in private.
  6. Please feel free to talk about your business and how you can help people, but do not start discussing how you are better then someone else. This will end up in your removal. In this light, promoting your business or unique and new services or searches is encouraged. Shameless plugging is tolerated, for the most part.
  7. The list is a private mailing list and service. Therefore, each member must realize that membership is a privilege and not a right.
  8. Any fake accounts will result in your immediate removal from the list.

If you can not follow these rules, then you will be removed.
