So of course the authorities wanted to notify her. But her phone number was unlisted. We tried to think who would know her phone number. The departmewnt head knew her the number,but his number was unlisted. Through this experience I have a prejudice against people who hide from others how to reach them. I think the chances that any would want to contact Tim for nephareous purposes very small and if they did they can be screened as you point out. -- ======================================================================= Revenge is a meal best served cold. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
