Good manners perhaps. But honestly, /who cares/?
I certainly don't scrutinize the csv logs every day, when I last looked, 
"Fred Flinstone" at "Bedrock 123" had called along with Barney Rubble. 
/I kid you not/.  They did have rotary phones in the cartoon I think, so 
perhaps that makes sense?
 My CID is only set to the country/office code, so maybe I should have 
my wrists slapped ;)
Did Caller ID even exist in the EM era? Certainly not in the UK. I know 
you guys had ANI & CAMA, so I suppose the line number needed to get 
passed to the toll centre. How did SXS offices manage to do this?
