Walt;
    Isn't this information anyone could acquire by picking up your Local
Phone Book.
My suggestion would be do not enter any info in your e-mails including your
signature file that you don't want everyone to see.
    Case in point...My ISP is Bell Canada, when the new phone book came out,
my e-mail address was published with my Business Listing, which I had not
requested, and was not asked if I wanted it. I  raised so much sh** with
that that they gave me a billing discount for the rest of that year. This
year it has been left out.
But...hey...nothing is Private anymore with the Internet, and it will get
worse for Personal Privacy.
    Look at the good side...your business is getting International
Advertising, at very little charge.
