This is one of those things, like the 55 mph speed limit, that people
(justifiably) think you're crazy if you do it.

In my case, the telephone company representative that I tried to notify
was almost scandalized that I bothered.  The implied question was, "Why
are you bothering me with this stuff?"  Then, when I insisted, she
listened in a bored way while I ran through the long list FCC
identification numbers, not even trying to disguise the fact that she
thought I was weird.

I didn't do it again.
