I though the fact that fax numbers were showing up in my address book was a
"bug" and spent hours looking for a way to get rid of them only to discover
it is a "feature" - a "feature" that I find very irritating and have now
learned I cannot turn off.

Please, please at least add an option that allows the user to hide the fax
numbers in the address book.

Add an alphabetic character to the fax number to 'hide' it from the address
book

Perhaps not, but you're limited in the options you do have and that's the
easiest to implement.  You could also put the FAX numbers in some other
non-address field and leave the FAX number field empty.

I think he was just posting a suggestion, not asking for workarounds.
It's a legitimate request and a frequent one. It's been asked through 6
versions now.
Too bad it will never happen.

Why so he was.
