Nope. For example, I'm not in there. I am on the FAA's (nothing "special" going on with my certificates, either). I'd like to see users validated somehow (then discard the information, perhaps?), but HSLD is right about the labor involved, especially when tracking down glitches like this.

Indeed.
To get certificate numbers you have to do a(n) FOIA request, IIRC. More labor.
