I'm going to resist the temptation, though; they look like nice people, just without a clue.... Then you're elected to send them email telling them that they chose a particularly counterproductive advertising method, in that nobody who received it would dream of renting from them. Hmmm. Just adding a cc header to this ought to do the trick... -- Cheers, Bev ================================================== =============== "There's an apocryphal (I hope not !) story about a Bristol bike thief found cold, wet and bedraggled one morning, D locked by the neck to a local bridge." -- Anon |

And I'm probably happier not knowing what you say to telemarketeers.. But getting out of the bathroom just to answer the phone? That's TOO polite. I just let it go to voicemail; I refuse to give the telephone that much power in my life. I know people who can just let the phone ring while they're in the room, but I don't understand how they can do it. I seem to remember always having to answer the phone, even when I have an answering machine. I was perfectly happy letting voicemail take over at work, but home is different. Maybe I'd change if I got more than a few telemarketers/day. OTOH, yelling at them is free therapy. -- Cheers, Bev ================================================== ==================== "Steve Balmer, CEO of Microsoft[0], recently referred to LINUX as a cancer.
