OPEN QUESTION FOR A PUBLISHER

I have been reviewing some posts on this thread, and one question is nagging me severely. It has been asked and alluded to several times, but I haven't seen anything like an answer to it. A Publisher, I would appreciate it very much if you would be so kind as to answer, or at least acknowledge, this issue. If HFA's immediate concern is to have a list of all titles on this site, why do they not download the list and have it right away? Why specifically request that the list be sent to them?

In asking this, I assume that the downloading is a relatively quick thing to do (a few mouse-clicks, insert a disc?)--correct me if I'm wrong--and it's a given that HFA has computers and internet access. I just can't figure why so much energy seems to be devoted to asking for something to be provided when it's there for the taking. What am I missing? Thank you.
