- And you do. Use call block or don't call anyone you don't want to have your
- number. Or, use a payphone. There, you have your privacy. No one put a
- gun to your head and asked you to call them, did they?
-
- If someone wants info on you, there are MANY other ways besides caller ID.
- I traced a guy down who I had bought something from over the net and hadn't
- heard from him for weeks. I ended up talking to his local police and
- getting his address, etc. Needless to say, I got the object I had payed for
- when I let him know how much trouble I'd go through with his local
- authorities. :-) (Notice I kept WITHIN the law and moral practices at all
- times.)
