  I hate phone solicitations of all types.  I am able to get some sense
of revenge with the personal callers by either:  1. trying to sell them
something myself; or 2.  Telling them that I am very interested, then
asking them to hold on to the line for a minute, followed by leaving
them sitting there indefinitely (if I am really aggrevated I will 
periodically shout out "just another minute" to the receiver).

  BUT, I am totally at a lose when it comes to computers (recorded voices)
which call me up to bother me.  I get five or six of these calls per
week!  Any suggestions for how to wreck havoc with a computer solicitor?
