The woman who just screamed is perfectly quiet now. You see, she's been dead for nearly a hundred years. Her bed is empty and whatever it was that frightened her so seems to be gone. Seems to be. But I can tell you this much. That bed won't be empty much longer. And other screams will soon be heard. Whose? Perhaps YOURS." -- Boris Karloff Intro from "Thriller" (NBC; Revue/MCA/Universal; 1960-1962) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- INDEX to PRIVACY Forum Digest; Volume 05, Issues 1 through 12 1 Jan 1996 through 30 Jun 1996 (12 issues) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRIVACY Forum Digest; Wednesday, 3 January 1996; Volume 05 : Issue 01 INDEX to PRIVACY Forum Digest; Volume 04, Issues 14 through 25 (Lauren Weinstein; PRIVACY Forum Moderator) PRIVACY Forum Digest; Sunday, 14 January 1996; Volume 05 : Issue 02 "Privacy: 1996" (Lauren Weinstein; PRIVACY Forum Moderator) Caller ID leakage?
