reason why LLG should be unwilling to share their membership list with TLI.

The primary reason would be privacy, and the keeping of commitment. We have explicitly said that we will not sell our mailing list, and therefore should not give it away either. TLI back in the 80s not only did not make such a promise, they printed a list of member addresses (and IIRC phone numbers) in Lognet on a periodic basis, and in fact that was how I got the address list - from the editor of LogNet because my initial intent was to put out a sort of unofficial LogNet to try to get things moving again.
