Thanks for your feedback, Andrew on the situation with the sponsee 
giving out my phone no.  You might find it interesting how it resolved 
itself.  The sponsee decided she didn't want me to sponsor her on her 
own as she has issues with her active parents - one in particular - and
she didn't feel comfortable having a sponsor who spoke to her mom on a 
very frequent basis.  She also apologized profusely and wanted to 
remain friends, both of which I accepted.
.
Oddly enough the next day a "normal" (whatever that is) middle class 
WASP housewife in my Church gave out the phone no. to the Nut in our 
Ward of the Church, who is know to harass people all night long for 
weeks at a time when she is in one of her spells, which appear to me to
be a mixture of a manic episode with a fit of paranoia.  Of course this
lady - the one who does the calling - doesn't see it that way.  Denial 
is not a river in egypt, believe me.  While the woman in AA who is, 
admittedly, learning disabled and mentally challenged as well as 
mentally ill did a good tenth step with it right off - promptly 
admitting she was wrong and apologizing - the woman at Church who gave 
it out brushed me off when I confronted her with what she had done.
.
THAT, to me, says a lot about how much the Program of recovery can do 
when applied in our lifes.

I don't regret having confronted the young woman I sponsor on this - I 
think she needs to know that isn't kosher, at all.  I also ended up 
telling quite a few folks there behavior was unacceptable and I wasn't 
going to continue to accept it earlier last week.  I'm glad I did 
because it had been excess baggage that was beginning to really get on 
my nerves.  And I don't need that excess baggage right now.  I came 
home from a meeting last week to discover my Dad has, apparently 
treatable, lung cancer.  I'm close to my Dad and I am having much 
trouble with this.  I'm glad I only have to accept it, I don't have to 
like it.
.
Anyway, that's how it all turned out.
