Of course, I don't worry a whole lot about giving out my phone number either (I'm not home that much, and I'm selectively deaf and will ignore the phone if I'm working on something and don't want to be interupted)...I also haven't been asked for my phone number lately--partly most of the people I've met lately have been in fairly organized situations where I'm sure to see them again in the next week or so anyhow... -- Mod.singles postings should be mailed to 'nsc!singles' administrivia should be mailed to 'nsc!singles-request' nsc talks to {cbosgd,decwrl,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}
