Six of 'em today. They're offshore, obviously with those accents, so
the "Do Not Call" list is a waste of energy. I'm screaming at them,
and swearing at them. I figure if enough of the assholes, male and
female, go home every day in tears, they might back off.

I have a feature on my land line known as "Privacy Manager."

If the incoming call doesn't fully and correctly ID, they caller is
sent to a menu tree with several options. My phone doesn't ring
unless the correct option is chosen and an extra step is taken.

That and the federal and state Do Not Call lists add up to me not
remembering my last telemarketing call. Seriously, it's been years!

I've received a few unsolicited faxes. The one that came yesterday had a
toll free fax number to respond to with my order. I've sent them back a six
page all black copy so far. Three times. Oh, I also changed the headers in
my sending to show that it came from them too.

Now, that one I like. At least there is some way to even think you're
getting back at phone intrusions of one kind or another. With on-line
spam, ANY answer just assures the thugs at the other end that they've
got a live email address.

I see by my spam traps on other sites that the dominant theme, at
least to people they identify as male, is now penis size, and
increasing it with their magic formula/exercise/whatever. That
probably says a great deal more about the average spammer than it does
anything else, is my guess. They are all probably hung like stud field
mice.
