All,
This just in,
A Realtor friend of mine just e-mailed me with the following information.
Google now is now making it possible for someone to input your phone number
and get your home address, and a map to it too!
I haven't tried it yey but she said there is all sorts of personal
information attached.
There is supposed to be an opt-out function avalable.
May not work if you only have a cell number or an unlisted number, but I
haven't checked that either.
Cheers (or, no cheers on this one) and good luck!

Old capability Pete. I remember messing around with something like this
in the mid 90s. I think it was old news then. I look at Google's
service as a convenience. It makes it even easier to do what's been
possible (easily) for years.
I just checked on Google; enter my name and the city where I live, no
quotes, no state, and you get my address and phone number. I'm not worried.
