Unlisted numbers don't stop the telephoned advertisements.  I had
one for several years and got lots of junk calls - as far as I can
tell, they just dial numbers at random.

The other night three-fourths of my phone calls were advertising
things I didn't want.  What a pain in the neck - junk calls take a lot
longer to get rid of than junk mail.  I haven't yet stooped to being
rude to the poor sucker that's getting paid to make the call, but
I'm ready to try anything else within reason.

Cheers  -- Walt
