Well, I appreciate the comments from everyone.

Caller ID is totally worthless today if you have children or grandchildren. The thieves have come up with some method of showing a telephone number other than their own. About 3 years ago, I got a call from a good friend that asked me when I started selling siding??? I asked him what he meant. He had just received a call CALLER ID SAID WAS MY NUMBER AND MY NAME selling siding. If you have someone out there you love, you HAVE to answer the phone.

As to the business, if one wants to remain in business, one has to answer the calls. Lots of people call from work. The solution is to make this activity unlawful, and use a little extra electricity with the thieves!

Even the legitimate robot calls are ridiculous. It takes the recorder at the doctors office just short of 4 minutes on the telephone to verify (press 1 if you will meet your appointment) that I am coming to see the doctor. I hang up on them as well. And then complain at the next visit! In fact, my cardiac doctor ordered the recorder banned from their office! They know its wrong! People just have to stand up against stupid practices!

Jon.
