Likewise.
You may be interested to know such people are now being called "cell
refuseniks" or just "refuseniks", but not to be confused with
protestors or people who wanted to leave Russia. My wife and I were
surprised to find we now have this new label, as we are both
steadfast refuseniks. We just blame it on being old, and people seem
to understand that, though it is equally because we are extremely
cheap, but people never seem to be understanding about that. 8^) It
seems to me a strange world where you have to explain why you don't
have a cell phone. I think some people take offense because they
assume you just don't want them to have it.
