You’ve missed the point. The phone numbers are not the valuable information. What’s valuable is the list of each person’s social contacts.

Did you know that before cellular phones were a thing, the phone company regularly sent out books with everyone’s name, phone number, and sometimes even their address in them?
You could even find such a book in public in these little things called “Phone booths”.

You’ve missed the point.
The point is the useful trivia I just told you.

I assume that the downvotes are from you and I notice that you haven’t shared the information. I think that is a good and appropriate response. Nothing good can come you sharing this information here. Privacy is appropriate and valuable even for people who are doing nothing wrong and who aren’t even particularly interesting.

You’re being a dick. All I did was share some info you might have found interesting. Fuck off.

Haha. Oh you really got me. Good one.
To really drive in your point, why don’t you post the names and phone numbers of the three people you contact most frequently. Don’t worry, those numbers are already in the phone book. It’s ok, you’re just sharing publicly available information.

And people were concerned. My grandpa only had initials published not his full name because he knew some widows [when my mom was a baby] afraid of crime who only published their initials and wanted to make things harder for those criminals who targeted on widows.
