I would also hasten to add that there are phone book access sites on 
the WWW; I myself used one the other day to look up an old friend I 
with whom I had lost contact.  The wonder of it all! I could access 
any area's phone book, and search it! In the glory of the moment, 
re-establishing a link, I did forget that what I could do in 10 
seconds or less, anyone, from anywhere, could do to me.

As the oft-quoted saying goes: I may not agree with what you have to 
say, but I will defend unto death your right to say it.

I too, welcome discourse on this subject, one very near and dear to 
my heart, as well as my profession.  I have strong feelings on this 
subject, but I am always looking for a good discussion on this issue. 
If this list is not appropriate, please feel free to email me 
directly.

I sign this posting with my mundane name and position,
