I linked to an entry by Amanda Fritz ^[1] in my post about City Charter Review ^[2], because she said it was giving her a headache. Now I’m linking because the rest of the post is what I want to talk about-rackafracking phonebooks.

I don’t need a phonebook. Even if I did, I need A phonebook, not a STACK of phonebooks. And why can’t I opt out, especially if you are not my phone service provider? There is no landline active at my house currently, why can’t I opt-out of this nonsense? Does this mean Cingular and T-Mobile will be getting into the phonebook printing business? I am full of questions, but it really comes down to this, from Amanda’s blog:

Don’t make us come after you with a city ordinance mandating only the phone company serving a residence may deliver unsolicited directories.

Amanda, this is my call to you: PLEASE go after them. I don’t want to put a post in a blogger’s mouth, but I have a hunch that Steve ^[3] might be with me on this one. If you need help to make this happen I will be more than happy to assist you, I know you don’t have a lot of free time. (:
