You were not supposed to type it out, you looked it up using your X.500 directory.

All we need is an x.500 directory of all addresses in the world, which won't be abused by anyone at anytime!

  • However did we live during the era of the White Pages phone directory.

    • Spam and scam had to work on a human scale, via locals paid something resembling a living wage, not automated machines sending millions a second or people working for pennies a day.

      I want a phone that can only ring if the source of the call is within artillery range.
