I've had enough of this discussion.  There ARE NO GOOD REASONS
to use "Wargames" dialers.  Using such things does NOTHING BUT
ANNOY people.  If you dial a number, you'd better have a reason
for doing it.  Wrong numbers are one thing, but dialing to get
a carrier tone is quite another.

(This follow-up was provoked by the person who posted "that it
might be okay to use a 'Wargames' dailer between 9 AM and 9 PM."
Does anyone think businesses or answering machines appreciate
this sort of thing?  Having a bad subject and a bad follow-up
needed some clearing up.)
