 MvLe> Was trying to modify phone number validation and saw this:

 MvLe>   /* Asshole detector */
 MvLe>   if (stristr(szNewPhone, "555-1212") || stristr(szNewPhone,
 MvLe> "5551212"))   {

yeah, that the information operator number here in the states... it is invalid 
for a home or data number for anyone... also, the 555-0100 thru 555-0199 are 
reserved for for fictional use are are guaranteed to "not connect anywhere"... 
the others in the 555 exchange are and have been allocated... these numbers are 
not limited to any specific areacodes, either... 919-555-1212 get the 
information operator for areacode 919... 800-555-1212 gets the information 
operator for the 800 toll-free areacode... 225-555-1212 gets the information 
operator for the 225 areacode... i don't think it'd be a good idea to pull that 
validation out ;)
