In Washington DC, we will soon have 3, (or is it going to be 4?) yellow pages. One published by C&P, another by SouthWestern Bell, and yet another by the Independent Yellow Pages Co. Why 3? Why more than one? Why do I have to look in multiple books to find what I want? Seems like complete overkill to me. Some cities even have a different YP for the east half of the city than the west half. YP adds are *expensive*. These companies, (at least C&P is), are making a killing! The next thing you know, they'll be charging us to list in the white pages, and then to find someone's number, you'll need 20 books! Death to all but one YP company per region! -Mike p.s. I don't want to start people flaming about their regional YP's, flame at me, not the list.
