And remember >to watch what's in your .plan, if you have one. There are differences between many privacy issues - and states doing this is a clear invasion of privacy. The problem is, people don't sue enough to stop these things, and those who do usually don't do it in a way that will make the people stop such bad behavior. Think about it: I have to pay to keep my information out of the phone book that they make money on. It should be the other way around: they should NOT put in ANY information unless I ok it and they should not charge me anything to do so. The state requires a drivers license: I have NO option to stop them from invading my privacy if I legally want to drive. What kind of nonsense is that? Review by Listowner is the right approach, and the only approach, to safeguard privacy. I guess conceal should work the other way around to, but that's a moot point with Review by Listowner. ** ------------------------------------------------------------------ ** ** Geert K.
