No I wouldn't! :-)

This is something else that's going to have to be revisited someday, as 
printed phone books become a thing of the past.

(It's never made much sense to me that the FCC looks at the existence of 
a local phone book as one of the criteria to determine whether a 
community exists for FM allotment purposes, either. What do you do in 
northern Nevada, where - at least in the old Pac Bell days - the telco 
put out one fat phone book labeled "Nevada" that covered most of the 
state outside the Centel/Sprint Las Vegas territory?)
