Easier than booting up the PC (or getting the kids off it). I fully agree with dumping the concept of the residential white pages. I suppose there may be the odd occasion where someone knows the name and address of some-one but not the phone number and actually wants to ring them. Assuming they have a land-line and live in the same city. But then I'd bet nine out of ten of those are stalkers.

Instead, there's a Sensis <a href="http://www.about.sensis.com.au/community/environment.php" rel="nofollow">opt-out line</a> where you can register to not receive printed phone books and then have one delivered to your door next year anyway. Which is another way of saying that I have never heard of anyone who has successfully opted out of phone book delivery. No there isn’t, at least not to my knowledge.

However, <a href="http://www.somethinkodd.com/oddthinking/2008/12/16/undirected-directory-delivery/" rel="nofollow">that doesn't mean they will listen</a>. Yes there is a way to tell them.

However, that doesn’t mean they will listen.
