Nonsense.  Disabling CLID stops your number being passed from the final
exchange to the called party.  It still exists in all of the telco call logs
and can be obtained with a suitable warrant.

Also in the case of many of the 'free' ISPs, the telco server the ISPs owns
the ISP, and so the 'last stop' which does receive CLID *could* quite happily
pass it to the ISP anyway.  I'm not saying that they do, and it would (probably)
be illegal if they did (IANAL), but it's quite feasible.

141 (or permenantly witholding CLID and using 1470 to release) merely prevents
the called party from trivially obtaining the number you called from.  It does
*NOT* produce any degree of anonymity from serious investigation.

Regards,
Tim.
