it wasn't proof for anyone's case... all it was was proof that things
happen if one isn't watching their stuff... the fellow that the incident
happened to didn't even use the proper 555-xxxx phone number to begin
with... if he had, he wouldn't have had the problem... it only takes a
small bit of research and/or to ask others in the know...
