Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post?

falconquest:

A land line is a telephone hard connected to the network via bell wire (the way it all started).

We also have a "modern" portable battery powered phone hooked up to the main line for use on the patio.

The computer is connected to our other (2ND) land line as I feel that it is more secure than WiFi.

Imagine the questions some would ask if you mentioned that you "dialed" up a friend to talk to on your land line.

There is a video out there that shows a couple of younger people being given a rotary phone and told to dial a specific phone number. Couldn’t figure it out..

But I’m sure they can work things I can’t figure out, so no disrespect intended!

I once read a book of his letters. Much as we do now of going on line in the AM to check things and take care of texts or notes w/ friends, back in Groucho's day they read the paper and wrote letters. He was a great writer more erudite in his letters than his corn ball persona in film.

I deleted one post with a whopper typo.

I’m going to have to look that video up. 😀
Imagine if you gave them the old fashioned way of stating your phone number with a alphanumeric string of seven using the accepted call sign that the letters represented.

Ex: State 1,3,4,7,9. (commonly represented as ST-13479)

They’d be like deer frozen in the headlights.

All the best,
