Phone service is not an open environment.  That would be more akin to call
one of those 1-900 chat lines where multiple people are connected.  

When I post to Usenet, I expect responses either on the newsgroup or by
email from anyone who feels the desire.  Those who don't lurk.  I do not
wish the same to happen every time I call someone using the phone.  Just
because technology now allows it doesn't mean I need to change my behavior
or expectations.
