In TELECOM Digest, vol. 10, issue 736:

David A Smallberg <das@cs.ucla.edu> writes about local high school
having a computer which apparently calls students' parents every
Saturday afternoon with taped information regarding the school for the
following week.  He writes:

In other words, a lot of parents aren't home when that computer call
is made, and the recorded message encounters a recording at the
receiving end, and the receiving end gets the incoming recording minus
the beginning (and minus any overflow at the end).  How common is the
problem of recording-calling-a-recording, anyway?
