I own my address, and my name. If the phone company wants to publish my number, go ahead. If any one wants to use my name, or address, " P A Y M E "!!! We have been forced over the years to comply what is currently done. I pay a fee to the telephone company to keep my number unlisted. I just realized I can avoid the fee altogether by letting the phone company just print my telephone number, not my name, and not my address. Then any person who whats to use the phone book for wall paper may, and I will not object. Just a thought, Mark
