I agree, but from what I have heard on this list, coming up with another 
word list (one enough better to bother with) may not be easy.  And if 
that is indeed the case, and someone wants to tell me how, I would 
volunteer to purge my personal dictionary of proper nouns and such and 
then send it in.  Also I am sure many other end users would be willing 
to do the same.
