One of the areas I work in is telecommunications so I know a lot of
phone guys and we share a lot of information. I use special numbers
all the time when I'm installing phone systems and DSL for networks.
We don't spread the special numbers and codes because bright little
kids get hold of them and not being socially mature and in possession
of any inhibitions will abuse the numbers and codes until the numbers
are cancelled making our lists useless meaning we have to start our
collections all over again. I own and use a crosscut shredder for any
paperwork I toss in the trash. Because I keep information within the
circle of people who work on phone systems for a living, most of my
numbers have worked for years. ^_^
