Proposed New Economic Stat: Number of Address Changes Per Month

Is everyone else having to make as many changes to their address/phone list as I'm doing these days?

Between layoffs and job moves, I now seem to have to set aside a hour or two a month just to keep my Contacts up-to-date.  As you might imagine for someone who deals with the media, these days the biggest number of changes is to my list of reporters.

Maybe this is a new business opportunity: create an economic statistic that measures the relative number of changes per monrth.

We'll call it the "Contacts Index," get someone to sponsor the survey, and move the markets when it's reported on CNBC on the third Tuesday of every month.

I'm sure we can get Santelli to rant about it.
