- One of the most sensible attitudes expressed so far. In Southeastern
- Virginia, we have Caller-ID with absolutely no blocking of any kind offered
- at any price. A telemarketer's dream, eh? I'm not sure if I should be
- screaming at the phone company, the State Public Service Commission, or
- both. I guess I'll start with both - I just found out that it was here
- (CNID) last week.
-
- I'll let you know if it'd do any good for you to scream at them, too. :-)
