I'm behind on my reading, so by the time I called this morning there
were no busy signals, and the operator answered promptly.  When I
asked for Irnalee Stohrs, she said 'wrong number' and immediately hung
up.  I called back, and began with an apology, and then asked if she
had received very many calls.  Her answer: Yea! about 1000 per day for
the first two days.  I then asked if there was any way she could help
me get hold of Irnalee.  Answer: "No, I really doesn't know Irnalee's
phone number."  I thanked her, and hung up.

Tongue in cheek mode on: Does anyone know the POTS numbers for the
Mercury News' telemarketers?
