Same here.  [Uh, the lack of problems, that is.  Not crank calls from Mr.
Sexton...:-)]  I suspect that a lack of calls has something to do with
the overall psychology of net participation.  For most of us it is
[a] easier, [b] preferred, [c] less emotionally trying, or [d] some
combination of the above, to remain fully electronic in our communication.
It may also be that conversing via the keyboard does not, in a subjective
sense, seem to take as much time as the physical act of dialing the
phone and holding a voice discussion.

Not that I wouldn't like to hear more voices.  Especially from those motos
who lack serious morals, or anyone with extremely lucrative job offers.
