While the copyright states that this was indeed written in 

November...all information contained was obtained during 

September, unfotunately difficulties arised and I was not 

able to complete this file until mid November...Lazy I 

guess.  I thought this might interest some people as to what 

goes on in the phone companies..and to show they still are 

not even close to being perfect.

I hope this was intersting and informative...stuff like this 

can be used to your advantage.  If you can't think of how at 

the moment.. think harder.  Of course, I do not believe any 

of this was classified information..but of course I put the 

normal warning that I will not be held respinsible for 

anything you may do with this information.
