You and I could be anyone. I could be some neurotic wheezebag who is paranoid about 70,000 FReeper-snoops who are trying to trick her into revealing her phone number and thus her identity, and you could be some weird pervert and lonely sleazebag who is trolling for some female's phone numbers because you can't get them any other way. Neither is likely, but neither is impossible either.

You're far too kind. Actually, your example is one of the more benign reasons someone might want to collect as many FReeper phone numbers (and the addresses which are attached to them) as possible.

The better part of valor, and all that...

I don't want to derail the topic from the subject here, which is "a modest proposal for a FReepers "instant alert network". Perhaps somebody might be so kind as to send me a private message explaining just exactly why so many people here seem so dang paranoid.

Why, thank you. :-)

Now, since you guys already have my phone number, can I expect that you'll call me and wake me up if the Houston Ship Channel gets hit with a "Texas-City-style" ka-boom? Logos, you take the late shift since RO has a new cute little baby at home, okay? I knew you wouldn't mind! LOL!

And just to show that I'm willing to reciprocate and watch the 6 of my two buddies, I'll call you guys and wake you up the next time the East Coast gets hit with another white-powder envelope. :)
