Message-ID: <2983@watcgl.UUCP> Date: Sun, 19-Aug-84 13:08:10 EDT Article-I.D.: watcgl.2983 Posted: Sun Aug 19 13:08:10 1984 Date-Received: Mon, 20-Aug-84 00:39:34 EDT References: <2039@utcsstat.UUCP>, <57100008@convex.UUCP> Organization: U of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 13 Either different areas in Bell Canada territory have different policies, or their policies have recently changed. The telephone line which I am using to type this is listed in the Waterloo phone book as "P. Flamingo". The phone book also lists A.P.L. Flamingo, Abner Flamingo, Dennis Flamingo, Jack Flamingo, and James Flamingo - most of these are second phone lines for people who work at the university. And there is also Flamingo Online Graphics Ink I, II, and III - these are various offices at the university. These are better than an unlisted number. When someone phones asking for Mrs. Flamingo (they HAVE to be just going through the phone book calling people) you can tell them that Mrs. Flamingo died recently and see how the caller reacts.
