There’s nothing I have to do, I just choose to do. I compare several situations, and choose to do.

no "can’t"

When I say “I can’t do it”, that means: either “I don’t know how to do it”, either “I don’t want to do it”
If I don’t know how to, learn it, If I don’t want to, forget it.

no "but"

BBDB, mobile, and phone

It is said bbdb-snarf-region on a region of csv can do the import, but my try doesn’t make a very good result.
I can import csv to bbdb with lookout.el and export bbdb to csv with bbdb-pilot-jwz.el. The next step will be finding ways to exchange csv with mobile and phone.
