Sandy, The phone companies sold the information as soon as you moved. ^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^ ^^^^ ^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^ It's called the Blue Book, any library has one for your area. Welcome Wagons and the like buy them. You can buy lists by address, sequential phone #'s, types of services people order, etc. A recent real-life example is this: I ordered caller-id on my phone in Nov. I already have had three direct mailings for security devices. It is assumed by being a girl, and ordering caller ID I am in fear. -- Member Internet Society - Certified BETSI Programmer - Webmistress *********************************************************************** Carol Anne Braddock (cab8) carolann@censored.org 206.42.112.96 My Homepage The Cyberdoc *********************************************************************** ------------------ PGP.ZIP Part [017/713] ------------------- M8H,),S$8G>&.WP(8IRA`-M['+`Q%&_C"">5-F%LX@<_Q$;*P'',Q$Z/AA[8M MF=O0H+*%(-S%&>S%+FS&<LS%3(Q&#W1"<]2%`H^;,]^1C$'HBN8PX$4SYAU^ MPGD<Q0ZLA0D+,`MCT!LA**4M[-JPAK9F?40!AJ,CW"'%DR#:'9?Q)3[%<DQ` ------------------------------------------------------------- for next chunk to export --> http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/export/
