- I *am* ex-directory, and if Caller ID is available, then I *MUST* have a way of
- not revealing the number. I'm ex-driectory for my reasons, and I see no reason
- why I should reveal the number to people other than I wish. Hell even the

- but everytime I think or writing the correct number on it, I think why should
- i?). You don't get my number unless I tell you. Simple.
