Hardly a good analogy. IF you turn on a commercial network (and don't tape it
so you can edit out the commercials), YOU are CHOOSING to accept the 
commercials.  However, when some joker calls you up on the telephone,
THEY are intruding.  For someone who is just a little bit nasty in their
postings, you should at least think things out before you start pissing.
