If only 30% of people answered with "sounds just what I'm looking for - hang on a moment please" then quietly put the phone down (not on the rest) until the caller gets bored, the number of calls made per hour would drop enough to kill any potential profit. It's a lot easier than being rude as well.If they're persistent and call again, just repeat the process...The only snag is that the phone is blocked for a minute or so, but why not enjoy the peace!</blockquote>
