>Being on this subject: There's a web site (
http://canada411.sympatico.ca/) where one can find any public phone number in Canada. Is there something similar for US?
You can use Switchboard.com "Find a Person" to find phone numbers or addresses if you know any information about names or addresses, besides what Nick said...there's also one for businesses that we use at work here sometimes...

and frankly, quite content not to be
a member of either major US political party.
