I don't need that. It's very simple and there's no need to make
it complicated. I have a *private* phone. I limit the distribution
of the number to those who I consider will use it appropriately.
I am *outraged* by those that abuse it.

I have a *public* e-mail address. I am *annoyed* (less than
outraged) by those who abuse it - so it's filtered.

None of my friends insist that I temporarily unblock CID in
order to call them. If they did, well, I guess that depends how
good looking she is :-)
