Someone mentioned the potential problem of people with numbers Call*Blocked missing important calls from people who are assigned a number that once belonged to someone else who needed to be blocked. A suggestion was made that numbers on the block list expire after a certain time. Since the telco obviously knows when a number changes subscribers, why not clear numbers from everyone's block list as they are disconnected? Steve Forrette, forrette@cory.berkeley.edu

Why not just update everyone with that person's new number??? YECHHH!!! Too much cross-linkage of information for my tastes. There is a certain amount of security in obscurity.
