Of course, but that's up to the sender not the receiver. Would you announce a ``system is too busy'' or ``disk is full'' error as 500 just because it had persisted for longer than a threshold? If not, why is ``over quota'' any different? -- ``Hi, I'm [name], and I'm calling on behalf of Alliance and Leicester... I'm sorry, I mean `BarclayCard'.''
