I do.  I even have a way to make sure that you will, too.  I'll just go
through all my USENET tapes until I find something YOU wrote, add a bunch
of really great code, complete with whatever bugs just come naturally, and
then I'll make sure I don't delete YOUR telephone number from it.  Of course,
I'll also make sure that it doesn't have mine.  Of course, I'm not serious
about what I just said; I wouldn't ever do that to you, John.  But now I do
wonder: can you get somebody for anguish caused to you by their publishing
YOUR telephone number in a privately distributed document?  Hmmmmn...
