Hi,

About telephone vendors... I have come up with an easy way of revenge.

Since they automatically call me, even when I am not home, and load up my
recorder with dead calls, and are obstinent enough to not understand NO!,
I get rather annoyed. I get their phone number, plug it into my computer,
and have my computer try to reach their computer 

		  - every 45 seconds ALL DAY LONG -

I have never had complaints from the phone company, and I somehow feel alot
better, even though my calls have never reached the calling computer. I really
didn't want to buy anything anyway.
