[Moderator's Note: No truer words could be spoken. Many large companies advertise in such a way that they come very close -- but not quite -- to the point of committing fraud. Don't immediatly assume you *must* call someone, or *must* respond just because something authoritative (such as your pager) says so. Think first! PAT]
