JboxR, you've been in Japan too long. The area code for all of Long Island, New York used to be 516. Then they split it between Long Island's 2 counties -- Nassau County kept 516 and Suffolk County got a new area code, 631. It's been over a year since that happened.
Thank you Dougie. I was sort of, out of sorts there for a few days. I was just venting some pent up frustration... but then I played with myself and that's all fixed now.
