I really mislike the robot ones ... which start their spiel at ANY sound coming
from your end of the line. Even though I am on every no-call list I have been
able to locate I still get those calls.

I keep the phone # of the cemetery where my mother is buried and refer
telemarketers who ring in and ask to speak to "Mrs. Drum". They
probably don't
get it - but, it makes me feel better having struck a blow for liberty.   Bv)=
