Re: The coming out (name change)
 

Hi Joshua,
If you had called your local phone company you could have had the
caller's service disconnect, no question asked. Go through the internet
phone sites and have them remove your number if you can't stand the
heat: http://people.yahoo.com/ http://www.whowhere.lycos.com/Phone
http://www.switchboard.com/bin/cgiqa.dll
http://adp.infousa.com/fs/consumer.htm?bas_fssession={bas_fssess-----&bas_ven dor=402&bas_type=FADP&bas_page=1&bas_action=search
http://www.bigfoot.com/BFDirectory/b...h_advanced.htm
http://www.aol.com/netfind/whitepages.adp for a few. Or pay a little
extra, to have the phone company to tell caller to use to display their
number.

Actually, "Goat Crapp" is his real name. ;-)

Calling someone at 2 am and screaming at them is harassment and stalking and
is against the law. If you are having problems like this, I suggest you
contact your local police department and get it taken care of. That kind of
thing can escalate into something more serious. You need to be careful.
It's one thing to hand someone a ration of poop on Usenet, it's another to
call the person and abuse him. That's serious. :-(
