   Every FAX I've received has my name on it or else I wouldn't get
   it...  FAX uses HUMAN readable addresses.

But the problem is the ones I haven't received!  My FAX number is
shared by about 300 individuals.  The people who run it report several
FAXes a day without proper delivery info.  They usually hang on to it
a while if the person was expecting it and comes by they may be able
to claim it by looking at it.  People are starting to get better at
it, but the addressing is still in the "body" rather than on the
"envelope" as E-Mail does.
