Alias in phone book

I doubt it's illegal to use an alias for the white pages. Pac Bell listed me as "Spaceman Spiff" in the '87 or '88 Palo Alto white pages. Only a few people bothered to call and see if there was "really" a Spaceman Spiff at my number :) The reasons for the strange name were: I didn't want to pay for an unlisted number, and Spaceman Spiff was my pseudonym on a BBS that discouraged use of real names. Of course the law may have changed; Pac Bell may have let my request slide by accident; I'm not a lawyer etc. Just supplying a point of information on the subject, - Jim Nitchals (jimn8@netcom.com)
