	<description>The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger).  The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.</description>

					<description><![CDATA[Out of those 3 arguments, I can only buy the third, and then only if the main line was also unlisted.  Still, I did not feel the need to falsify the info for a second computer line I once had, and I did pay the extra to keep it unlisted.

I admire your family&#039;s honesty by blowing the whistle.  I am curious; why would the story have called that letter to the election officials &quot;humorous&quot;?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You said &quot;The Nudelmans used her name on a second phone line for a computer modem. That in itself raises a question; why did they feel the need to do that?&quot;

Answer: I could think of a dozen possible reasons, but the three that were actually true were:

1) We wanted to see what junk mail would be generated.  We did get a nice stack, including credit card offers, life insurance (should have taken that one), and the partially filled out voter&#039;s registration card.

2) We didn&#039;t want people looking us up in the phone book to call us on that line since it wouldn&#039;t ring anyways.  We figured anyone using that number to call us wasn&#039;t someone to whom we would want to talk.

3) We didn&#039;t want to pay extra for an unlisted number.  

Fair enough?

Oh, and just to correct something in your first paragraph - the fish was never registered to vote.  The card was mailed uncompleted, unsigned, and with a note saying don&#039;t register this as a voter.  The system worked.

Got to say, though, our family has certainly enjoyed the 15 minutes this episode has generated.  Don&#039;t see how we can get a book deal out of it, but it&#039;s been fun.]]></description>
