It's true, I just don't volunteer to help them out. I pay for
an unlisted number so only people I give it to have it. Every
time I order something online they want it. Hey, I contacted you
by computer, you can just contact me that way if you need to.
I just zero out the last four digits.

I took an internet course at the local college a number of years
ago and one of the early assignments was to look up your address
and phone number online. Mine didn't just pop up, being unlisted,
and I didn't push it. I have no doubt someone could get it if
they really wanted to.
