Yep, and when you place a 'for sale' ad, I can't respond because my
phone is blocked. Reminds me of an HR person who worked for the US
Department of Agriculture. She would try to call an applicant to come in
for an interview, they would block calls with blocked numbers. But since
the Dept of Ag shared a phone system with a hush hush FBI office, no
amount of unblocking codes would work. So the HR person called the next
person on the list.


Reading comprehension test EPIC FAIL: "Let the machine screen it."
You even quoted it back, so you had to have seen it.

I deliberately said machine, and not Voicemail. If it's a real
person and not a sales-droid, and you are there, you pick up.
