A toll-free number!!! Ring it, ring it, ring it! Hang up in their
ear, make bodily noises, traumatise them...I know of a company that
got so much of this, they switched to a local call number.
But I like the sound of SHUTING THEM DOWN...tell 'em to get REAL jobs.
Both people below use Net-Tamer...different versions. I found it a
bit awkward to use when I tried it.
