>do you let your daughter peep through the hole first?

Hard to do if the anti-privacy types keep painting it over.

>maybe its a flasher.

Then all the more reason for their identity to be exposed before they
can get into my home.

>the peephole is more like picking up the receiver and listening for heavy

No, this is like openning the door--something required due to you peep hole
painters.

>the knock on the door is like the ring on the phone

And Caller ID is like looking through the peep hole before opening the door.


>>You have this right regardless of Caller ID. If you wish to remain private,
>>simply choose not to call me, period!

>Who cares about calling YOU??

Thank you for admitting that Caller ID has nothing to do with the privacy
of the caller. Be private, don't call me or anyone else.

>its the influx of new businesses that then
>can tap into our personal information 

Hey Rip, wake up! This is done regardless of Caller ID. Except that with
Caller ID, one can render such information useless. If you want to be
private, don't call me!
