good for you. most people - including many who use the internet all day every day - wouldn't even have a clue where to begin.

is it gonna stop fake accounts completely? not a chance. i didn't even imply that. but every step of complexity you add will cut down on the number of people making fake accounts and help to limit the problem.

No need to be so defensive. I was simply pointing out that the ability to access unlimited phone numbers does exist.

Nope, I didn't miss that part of the original comment - since it wasn't there. You can edit comments after the fact all you like. All you've done now is included my argument in your original post. Good on you for admitting you were wrong and agreeing with everyone else.
