Here's a better way to get back at the tarriff-quoting, beaurocratic
bimbos: beat them at their own game.  Tell them you want the other lines
listed in some fictitious name.  I've got mine listed in W.C. Fields's
character's names.  Here's your chance to be R. Milhouse Nixon, Che
Guevera, Y.A. Boguslisting, etc.  My understanding is they've got to do 
and it's free.  Some day they'll catch on and stop charging for things
that don't cost, or actually save them money.  Til then, we can play their
silly games, can't we?
