I should mention, I'm not always so paranoid that I check ID and all of that. It really depends on how well I know the person. I've met Bruce only once, so I wouldn't do it over the phone at all, since we don't share much non-public background and I'm not dead certain that I could tell his voice from a similar one. The same is not true when it comes to doing this with some of my close friends. cjs -- Curt Sampson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.netbsd.org Don't you know, in this new Dark Age, we're all light. --XTC ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
