Why edit the phone number ?

[Shallow Throat]

This is one thing that I could never figure out here.
If someone posts a review for a girl that advertizes in the papers or web, why edit the phone number like 416-555-XXXX ?
What is it supposed to accomplish ?

Sounds reasonable. In the present tense, it's annoying, especially when the source of the number isn't stated, but I never thought about the long term.
