So I hesitate to call something 25 years old the "latest version", but yes, that appears to be the one I posted to a BBS oh so long ago. (At least without doing a diff against the one on my computer.)

However, this is the second text file of these I created; the first one was from the previous year, and doesn't seem to have survived as well (I think Jason Scott has posted it now).

And while it says they aren't listed in any particular order, that's not exactly true.  I kept a notebook log of secret keys as I found them, and after I had accumulated a fair number, I created the text file.  After I did the first one, I kept finding more, so did the second one.  In the text file(s), they are listed in the order I had them in the notebook, so they are in the order of discovery.

The thing is, I had a few more in my notebook that I'd found after that second file, so the text file isn't quite the "latest version" in what I had found.

Later, someone going by the handle 'Ramsacker' compiled a larger list, drawing from my text file and other sources. But as I was looking at it, I realized it was incomplete (possibly missing the first list I created).

I've since taken all those lists and have created a new master list, and have been cleaning it up, verifying things and such.  I've separated it into 'commercial' secret keys and 'cracks' secret keys though (I *so* want to use 'cracked Easter eggs'...).  For now, I'm only focusing on the commercial ones however.

It's time consuming, I gain/lose interest in it, and so it would be nice to have a place to add a few here and there over time, rather than try to produce one big list again (only to have it get outdated on the next discovery).  Kind of a niche interest within what already is a niche interest, so it remains a 'nice to have'.  :)
