I was defending CLI by pointing out that the big commercial services
(800 number providers, Amex, etc) already receive information on who
calls them, and that CLI would simply give us "little guys" the same
privileges as the big guys.

The question came up as to whether the Dial-a-Porn 976 providers
receive info on their callers.  Does anyone know?

Is it possible for a Dial-a-Porn provider to call up someone and say,
"Ahh, we see you made 6 calls to our kinky sex line last month; if you
don't make at least 6 calls this month we're going to tell your wife"?
