Same here.  (-:

My recoring says the same.  It really doesn't matter because when the robot
telecaller hears a message from another robot, it hangs up and tries later.
After so many tries, my number is probably skipped for a long time.  If the
robot caller display a number on my Caller ID, I call the registry and
inform them, although I don't really know how much good that does.
