We've fairly recently had one of those lists set up in Australia, and more recently it's been discovered (surprise, surprise) that it doesn't really work. There's too many exceptions, and foreign callers don't give a hoot. > 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. Rocking up armed, over here, would probably cause a person serious legal troubles, to put it mildly. I can remember the national fuss made, several years back, when some 80 year old decrepit pension shot at an intruder in his house. You'd think that'd be justifiable cause, but it's not accepted. Years ago I got the number of one of the repeat offenders, that spooked them a bit (I called them back). Caller ID was almost unheard of here, back then. I have fantasies about taking baseball bats and chainsaws to their computer equipment. Bulldozers and arson sound appealing, too. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.15-78.2.23.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
