Bimbo! Good Lord it's getting exciting now! Suppose you, in all of your
worldly knowledge, enlighten us as to why there is a phone book (you said
I was wrong, but never said why).

Correct you are. And I would do the same thing. But I am performing a
job or service (whichever term you like, I don't care) which is legal
and liscensed and in a gainful employment mode. I'm not calling people
and breathing hard into the receiver for giggles.

You seem to share that same right.

Open note to anybody who has been reading this dribble for the last 
two weeks or so:

I started out by stating a point and it mushroomed into what my perverted
notion of freedom is. I don't want to talk about that. If anybody wants
to talk about the origional postings I will otherwise I don't discuss
things with people (as sincere as you are) who don't read what I write,
and quote me as saying things I don't say.
