Hello Carol.

Isn't that what started all this? How *C's are ignoring those standards? How
stupid things like 1-000-000-000 (or 000-000-000-000) are used for phone
number fields? How they allow IBN and other such flags without including the
FQDN or IP address?

Michael is trying to justify his 1-000-000-0000 phone number field entry and
on one hand you are agreeing with what he says yet on the other hand you say
things like " CS> Yes but based on standards in effect already." above.

How can you agree with the authorised standards on one hand and also agree
with whatever a *C's whim is on the other?

Cheers,
                Rick
