You people just _aren't_ listening out there, are you?

You _can't_ pay any LEC to "let you spoof Caller ID".  If they _catch
you at it_, the _least_ they're likely to do is pull your service, if
you don't get arrested.

The fact that one reasonably common CO switch fails to proper validate
such things is a completely different matter.
