When they refuse, I ask them why they can not give me the number and allow the discussion to continue until they are tired of this treatment. I also ask them their name, age and other information and begin a personal discussion with them about their work. They usually give up in less than a minute. + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + | Leonard P.
