Lines: 23 Hi, About telephone vendors... I have come up with an easy way of revenge. Since they automatically call me, even when I am not home, and load up my recorder with dead calls, and are obstinent enough to not understand NO!, I get rather annoyed. I get their phone number, plug it into my computer, and have my computer try to reach their computer - every 45 seconds ALL DAY LONG - I have never had complaints from the phone company, and I somehow feel alot better, even though my calls have never reached the calling computer. I really didn't want to buy anything anyway. -- Tim Margeson (206)253-5240 PO Box 3500 d/s C1-937 @@ 'Who said that?' Vancouver, WA. 98668 {allegra..inhp4..decvax..ucbvax}!tektronix!tekigm2!timothym
