Lines: 14 Junk phone calls really don't bother me much. I can identify a junk call very quickly in the following manner: "real" callers always ask for someone in residence at my home. Junk callers just start their schpiel. When the latter happens, the following is very effective, requires less than three seconds, and even avoids any being rude to the caller (if human): CALLER: "... just a few questions" ME (interupting): "I'm not interested. Thank you"No fuss. Art Zemon
