I hope these surveyors didn't try to contact me and get rebuffed. If I was less than friendly, I'm sorry. I'd love to have participated, but I've about had it with phone calls that pretend to be surveys and then end up presenting information about a product or a candidate, issue, etc. Our landline may go days without a call from a "real" person, but we'll get close to a dozen of these "surveys" or "questions" a week. Many of them are pretty blatant attempts to get around the "Do Not Call" list.

My current solution is to have the landline go to the answering machine after two rings, expecting that anyone who really wants to communicate with us will leave a message.

Good article, Michael
