<...>  -  Values in angle brackets are email addresses.
+aaa (bbb) cccccccc  -  Phone number where
.aaa is the country code,
.bbb is the area or city code, and
.cccccccc (possibly containing a hyphen) is the number itself.
(1-800) ccc-cccc - Phone number good only from the USA or Canada.

Addresses with email access are checked once a year or so, but
