- No flame intended here, but the above scenerio is fairly pathetic. If a guy
- comes to a party, then there are high chances that he knows, or can easily
- find out the name of the host. The he merely has to look up the number in the
- phone book. It is about as easy.

- The number is 830 to dial to get your own phone number. It is a general
- knowledge number- many people I know already knew this "feature".
