And easy. Criss-Cross directories have been available for
decades -- I certainly used them 40 years ago as a newspaper
reporter. But this means that armed with a telephone number
I can locate nearly anyone anywhere in the continental 48.
I no longer need a criss-cross directory for the individual
locality. 
(Of course, as a newspaper reporter I usually wanted the name
and phone number when I knew the address.)

Thanks for the tips on opting out of this "service."
I plan to do so this weekend.
