Having your wife keep her name also works for that. There's nothing like being addressed as "Mr. Cleaver" to tip off that it is a sales call. Of course, one time I went off in a case like that it turned out to be the father of a friend of Anita's. He, of course, had no idea that we had different names. And he was not amused. - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
