Unwanted Phone Calls

[Tim Lohrmann <timlohr@yahoo.com>]

Thanks for the info Robert!
I prefer not to constantly screen calls, but have been
forced to do so in the interest of sanity
preservation.

I've been ignorantly asking to speak to supervisors of
the phone solicitors that call and asking to be
removed from lists, but there has been no let-up. 
 I'll definitely try this!
