[Corpora-List] corpora-list: publishing lists of accepted and rejected papers

1. I don't see how we can have "openness" AND "privacy"... Perhaps Olympic non-medallists should be offered the same privacy, or losing football teams, or unsuccessful candidates in political elections?

2. Instead of "rejected", let us say "not accepted" - which would cover 'inappropriate target audience', 'not enough room in this particular conference/journal issue', 'too similar to another accepted contribution' etc, etc. Therefore, I don't see any problems in another conference/journal accepting the same paper?

Conference and journals *do* publish lists of accepted papers. That is what the conference program and journal table of contents is for. I certainly hope that no conference/journal starts publishing lists of papers that they rejected! Wouldn't it be a complete breach of privacy and could also be lead to all kinds of problems for other conferences/journals that accepted the papers?
