And I have had several instances where I have been called at home.  One instanceI had sent someone some source code that they posted they needed, and they then
called me at home to thank me (more personal than mail).  In another, a question
I had asked which needed a software solution helped me receive USmail from a
few different software vendors and even followup calls.

So I think that anyone who wishes to include their address/telephone # in their
signature should do so.  Just be prepared for some "junk" mail to start showing
up in your USmail box...
