For complete privacy I went and had my phones unlisted with noms de guerre out of a book by John Brunner (you figure out which one). They tried to talk me out of it but eventually took the order when I insisted upon it. Cheers, Kelly PS: Unlisted under a pseudonym... now that's real privacy.... hope the Haines people have fun!! [Moderator's Note: A phreak phriend here in Chicago told me he does the same thing. He has non-pub service under the name of an author/anthropologist who has been dead a few years. No, not Margaret Meade! You ask DA for that name, the response is it is non-pub. You ask for his name, there is no record at all! He's had it that way for a dozen years with the same number. He pointed out that if/when anyone comes to his door asking for that person, its an immediate tip-off the visitor is up to no good. (wink! wink! smirk!). He says he has been able to avoid Haines since 1971. PT]
