End > of problem. Good idea, but I would imagine that such "unlistedness" would require extra fees, just as not being listed in the directory does. It's unfair to expect shelters--who operate on shoestring budgets--to pay extra for something that's rather critical to their safe operation (in this area, yearly salaries for experienced shelter staffers average a whopping $13,000). Of course, it could be argued that free unlistedness for shelters should be mandated by law, but we all know the likelihood of that idea getting by PAC-driven politicians. -- NSA food: Iran sells Nicaraguan drugs to White House through CIA, SOD & NRO. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Michael Trout (miket@brspyr1)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BRS Information Technologies, 1200 Rt. 7, Latham, N.Y. 12110 (518) 783-1161 "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without...a rebellion."
