I don't know about you, Chris, but I'd take offense at
their use of the word "average". [wink]

My guess is that you'd have to insure that the telephone
exchanges matched up with the zip codes, in order to do
a thorough job of it. That seems like a pretty tall order.
I wouldn't call it laziness, I'd call it a pratical
compromise, though it seemed pretty likely that the stunt
would be discovered... In fact, it looks suspiciously like
those numbers were intended to be discovered...

It still doesn't explain how they traced it to Chris?
