Just as recording conversations is severely restricted, so should use
of the caller ID.  How about requiring a company to ask first?
	Service Rep: May we note your call in our data bank 
		for <some good reason>?
	You: Yes.  (or No)
The service rep. then punches a button.  The company gets the
information they want and the caller knows something is being
recorded.  It seems a reasonable compromise.  Variations or
improvements anyone?
