Answering machines are relatively cheap. How much is your peace of mind worth?

I don't give a shit about "exemptions". If we get a call from someone selling something or looking for money, they get FLAMED -- political, charity, "prior business relationship", or whatever. "Do not call" means exactly that -- DO NOT CALL HERE, I don't care who the f**k you think you are. Oddly enough, we've gotten very few repeat calls... ;-)
