I seem to have the choice of either paying my local phone company (Pac Bell) to unlist it; or having it listed under a made-up name with an unlisted address, which the phone company will do for free. The made-up-name ploy is cheaper than unlisting, and seems just as good in every other respect. Is there any reason I shouldn't do it? Thanks, Paul Gloger
