Has the thought ever occured to anyone that everybody just doesn't want
to be accessable 24/7.  I think of pager as an electronic leash.  I
sometimes don't want to talk to people.  With a pager it's always "I
paged you.  How come you didn't call back."  Telling people I just
didn't feel like calling back is not always a good answer if it's
your wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend/boss.

I have an answering machine that I can retrieve my messeges from remotely
and I check my machine a couple times a day.  If I want to call back I
do, if I don't want to I don't.   I just don't like the idea of someone
always being able to locate me.

Just my $1.35 worth. (It takes that to buy a gallon of regular gas.)
