Sorry, but i will want my unlisted phone number. otherwise I will
be forced to reject calls from friends who are at other people's
residences or who are at phone booths since i will not recognise
the number. perhaps having a access code for my phone would help,
but I am not plesed with this solution. There is a limit to the
number of characters that my 5 year old nephew can remember, after
all, and he might conceivably need to get a hold of me some day.

On the other hand, there are certain local organisations -- one
headhunting firm that is absolutely convinced that I will turn into
an IBM Cobol hack if they phone me often enough -- that has the phone
number of a friend of mine. They think that he would make a wonderful
slave to somebody's airline reservation system. If they ever get my
home number, I will have to get a new one, for while he is willing
to put up with the phone calls on his regularily listed phone, I
am *not*.
