John Higdon <higgy@kome.com> had written:
|  So much for "No area code needed, dial three sevens aaaand a one, two, 
|  three, four" or "join the discussion: dial 808-0810". 

The KCBS story on the subject this morning inexplicably failed to
mention the reason for requiring 11-digit dialing, namely, the 669
overlay. Is KCBS trying too hard to keep stories short? Yet there
was time for a sound effect at the start, kind of trite in this case.
I've always felt KCBS is capable of doing better than that, and
usually it does.
