Don't. Google has been offering the feature for ages. It only works on
listed numbers and thus you could do it yourself with a call to number
Information (555-1212) and a map. And besides, what are you selling here?

FS: My opinion $0.02.

WOW! Late breaking news that's only several years old.
News film at 11:00.

Compaq pent III 500 mz $200.00

So basically, what your saying, is that google has maliciously cross
referenced the public phone books listed address's in order to automatically
fill out the address field in their map search so that you can do in a few
clicks, what normally took several page turns from several reference
materials to accomplish?

Yet another attack on our 1st amendment right to ignorant
bliss....................................

SS#s, I'll agree with... There's never a need to put it on a check.

But, a large number of sellers *require* phone numbers or drivers
license numbers... Whether they're printed on the check, or written
by hand, they're still available to those same people you're afraid
of.

Notan

Of course your right... Because nothing is more impressive than a 39
year old white male attempting to sound like a "Yo MTV Raps"
reject.......................

Please, enlighten me!!! What is the latest Hilary Duff wannabe cliché? I'd
love to impress my 13 year old with my inept understanding of teenage psycho
babble.............

Who has tried this with your kids' phone number and address?

Um, if they don't give their home phone number to friends, their friends
wouldn't be able to reach them.

Not a problem for you, we understand, but for most of us it would be.

I have a good. Sounds like you don't.

The authority on information you seek would be your 13 yo. Of course
if you wanna impress her, don't ask her first, find one of her friends
and pay her off not to tell. Who is Hilllary Duff anyway.

F.S. Incomplete knowledge of current pop culture due to checking out
of after the Dukes of Hazard was cancelled from network television.
However extensive knowledge of NFL football still maintained. Only 50
duckies.

Not to mention all those that offer cash for your soiled panties. What's up
with that?
And old secretive men that like to hang around the Men's room at subway
stations, the ones that keep looking at you out of the corner of their eye
while they wash their hands. The ones that are always dressed way too warm
for the weather.
And women in their 50's that still wear their hair real long, and wear thick
pancake makeup and actually enjoy feeding live white mice to their pet
snakes that they keep in the dining room, of all places!
What if all those people start using Google?
Shoot me now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are still people who pay for retail purchases by check?
How quaint. I haven't carried a checkbook for about 10 years now.
Don't you hate being in a checkout line behind someone who
doesn't even begin to fill out their check until all the purchases
are tallied up? Considerate people who insist on using a check
should fill out everything but the amount by the time they get
to the cashier. Unfortunately, most check writers are not
considerate of their fellow human beings or else they'd use a
credit card.

I, too, can't remember the last retailer I paid, by check.

Along the same lines (no pun intended) as your check writers,
are the check depositers at the drive-up window... Holy ****,
folks. Endorse the checks *before* you get to the window!

Well, that's... unrealistic.

Not everyone qualifies for or wants to pay the interest on a credit card. And
at least at the grocery store, where I still see a decent number of people
paying with checks, the process has been speeded up to the point that it's not
a big deal.
