Last week, I did a count of one day's calls and wound up with five junk
calls to one legitimate call.
Is anybody keeping track ?
If so, what's your ratio ?



On my business line it seems like it is about 5 to 1 junk calls.
On my home line, it is about 40 junk to 1 legitimate.
Endless political calls and the ubiquitous Anthem
calls (I finally got on Anthem's do not call list).
Love caller ID and my answering machine.


Yikes !
Sorry - but I get ~ 5 or 6 junk phone calls - per month .
I'm always polite to the human callers -
- they are real people - after all - trying to make a living -
usually they are suffering through a low-point in their
employment history -
.. and they don't really need a kick-in-the-teeth -
from a compfy fat-cat arse-whole -
- telling them - how low they are ..
A very nice & kind woman, I once knew - was employed
as a telephone canvasser - I just think of her -
and it's sooo easy to be polite.
Computer-callers are sooo easy to just hang-up-on !
