Message-ID: <12438@accuvax.nwu.edu> Date: 20 Sep 90 12:42:33 GMT Sender: news@accuvax.nwu.edu Organization: TELECOM Digest Lines: 23 Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 10, Issue 666, Message 11 of 11 I don't understand several of the recent postings in Telecom ... What is the point of putting bizzare messages on your answering machine to mislead some hapless telemarketing representative, when as Patrick states, A POLITE NO THANK YOU WILL DO! And exactly why would you want to even RISK interference with air traffic communications by using your cellular phone while taxiing to the gate on an airliner? Remember, an accident here may result in severe damage to your portable cellular phone (not to mention you). What exactly is this world coming to when we can no longer talk to strangers, and/or can't wait two minutes to get to make a darned telephone call? Sorry, I just don't get it! ljj [Moderator's Note: Sometimes, Lou, neither do I. And there you have issue 666 of the Digest. I wonder if the Devil made me do it. :) PAT]
