That's certainly an abnormal reaction to a ringing phone. (DUH)

Can you comprehend the concept of unwarranted intrusion ?

Well bud, why don't you continue to run *your* life as you choose and
stop trying to tell me I should be like you. Or is that a concept that
eludes you too ?

Once again you're showing how clueless you are. If this is your best
understanding of the issues involved here than you are pityingly slow.

Well once a telemarketing agency has your personal information you can
bet you will be getting calls, solicitations, junk mail etc. How dense
are you ?

I did ? Show me where I said that !

Sure, and I'll carve spamalama into my email address to foil those
spammers too. Run your own life as you see fit and stay out of mine.

> Better yet, don't give PN your phone number.

This is the crux of the matter. I gave my number to Primenet at their
request in good faith only after receiving *specific* assurances from
them. If you can't grasp this by now, try to find someone to help you
with it.

BTW. Have you made any posts recently without kissing up to Jason ?
