Uhhhhhh, no we weren't. It cost extra to be unlisted, so most of us just lived with it. But there was a loophole. You could tell them what name you wanted listed, and they wouldn't do any verification. I still get mail for "Rusty Shacklesord." They misheard me when I got listed, and hell, I wasn't going to correct them. Whenever I get a call or mail for Mr. Shacklesord, I know it's bullshit and I can do whatever I want to the asshole.
