Arno,

You're stuck on a technological solution where a simpler one already exists.

Do you have a pet ?   Are you going to put its name in that contacts list 
too ?   If not, how /do/ you get its name in that exclusion list ?

And yes, I already mentioned that earlier in this thread.

Or do the more obvious, and look for an already existing app which doesn't 
require it.   And IIRC, I alread mentioned one.

I *thought* we had a discussion about a permission and how its easily a 
privacy risk.  I guess I was wrong.

I also tried to explain how my trust needs to be of another, higher level 
than yours and how your 'trust' (being able to inspect and understand the 
sourcecode) looks to be anything but.   For some reason you had little to 
say to that.

I think we should end this thread.
