Today I called ATT to clear up a problem with a third-number long-distance call that didn't belong to me. I live in Dallas; the call was from another Dallas number to Houston. (Most of my long-distance is to Chicago, and never third-number billed.) In the course of our conversation, the ATT person told me the name of the owner of the Dallas number, and that the Houston number was the one she most frequently called. While I was pleased that she could quickly clear up my problem, it bothers me that she would so casually reveal information about another person. Does it make anyone else uncomfortable, or is it just me? pf Paul Fuqua Texas Instruments Computer Science Center, Dallas, Texas CSNet: pf@csc.ti.com or pf@ti-csl UUCP: {smu, texsun, im4u, rice}!ti-csl!pf
