- Could you or anyone tell me how, without using Caller-ID, someone
- could choose not to listen to such a caller? Only Caller-ID provides
- this ability, people want this ability (how many million peep-holes
- are sold each year), and hence people want Caller-ID. Unfortunately
- they have a gauntlet of anti-privacy people to deal with.
