, (sop to the blank line eaters--consider it a religious sacrifice)

Many thanks to those who replied to my complaint about mis-use of
my credit card number.  The good news is I won't have to pay for
the bills.  The bad news is that I didn't get my payment for the
bill in in time while waiting for the sales slips and have to pay
both late and finance charges.  The worse news is that the company
that was called is "dial-a-porn".  I found this out by calling them
(not an easy feat since they are unlisted) and discussing a shipping
address with them.  It took me a couple of sentances to understand
what the honey-voiced woman was telling me (I can be quite innocent
without trying) about their services and where they advertised.  I
am a wargamer, so when she said "fantasy" I thought of role playing.
Well, I guess you could call it something like that....  So what 
this all means is that it will be difficult at best for the police
to trace the card mis-user, but I am going to have them try.

The phone number of this company is available on request, but let
me warn you that they take $38.50 a shot for giving you an obscene
phone call!  Now that's what I call dirty! (Hey, how about $20 and
I could talk to you?)
