But it hasn't ever deterred them yet so they must be used to it. Recently they've been hitting my cell phone too, so I just registered its number on the National Do Not Call list while I was re-registering the home number. As the cell phone seems to do a better job on the caller ID, I expect to be able to cost Volkswagon of America about $50k one of these days, they are calling to advise me my warranty is about to run out. Since its a 2002 Jetta, the warranty was about out when I bought it nearly 2 years ago & if you have ever dealt with VOA on a warranty matter, you know very well they wouldn't violate the warranty terms right down the the last dotted i in the whole document. So yeah, these jerks all get 'the best part of you ran down your mothers leg' treatment from me. Or worse, I can be a cantankerous old coot when the occasion is called for. I got rid of the local call center bugging me long before the NDNC list, after I caught them on a caller-id modem I was logging, I took the printout and 'Betsy' and made a personal call to their front office. I instructed them to paint the number I gave them on the wall as one you will never call again. Calls went way down after that. I'll let your imagination fill in just what Betsy was. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
