Per AMuzi:
I'm with you.
Our two favorite responses to solicitations are "Sure I'll take a dozen!
Please hold." and that wonderful day when I set two separate callers on
'conference'.

Yeah... Being sort of a closet pistol type, I usually give the
short answer. But I've read (and it makes perfect sense) that
those guys live and die by man hours vs sales and anything you
can do to make their fruitless call longer hurts them.

On another tack, I know one person who actually used to *like*
telephone solicitors.

When he was fresh off the boat and working to perfect his
English, he'd string them along as long as he could - even asking
them to call back.... He says he got a significant amount of
practice that way.

Since the only effective 'no call list' is made up of jerks like me who
waste their sales time, I want to get on as many as possible.

Whatever the official 'no call list' does, one thing it does not do is
slow up telephone solicitations.



I read about this a long time ago and may be misremembering it.
I seem to remember that the no call list is actually owned by AT&T and that
by adding your name to it you've only given marketers more information about
live contacts

When did Canada become socialist?


That was mostly tongue in cheek. Canada is actually a parliamentary
democracy (see Douglas Adams' comments on that idea)

But there is a federal party with seats in parliament called the NDP
(New Democratic Party) that profess to be social democrats. And of
course we have the actual Socialist Party and the Marxist Lenninist
party but these are about as popular as the Green Party.

Of course the Communist Party is banned in the US, which is undemocratic.



If they are banned then how come they regularly appear on electoral ballots

Sounds correct but like I said, I haven't read any of these studies
because I don't care about them.

Hmm. In most serious discussions, people are willing to learn about
things before they discuss them.



you are just mixed up

ear David,

:Thanks for the link.

What's that? You made a specific claim, which you can't support,
because it's false, that smoke detectors have no safety benefits.
I'm not ignoring your point. I'm disproving it. Did you have some
other point.


Why do you use a colon

maybe because he thinks all quoted material is poop

instead of the standard greater-than sign to indicate the level of quoting?

it's probably a default

I think even web tv defaults to windows

My experience is that bicycles paths and lanes put me in dangerous and
uncomfortable positions in regards to motor vehicles. I was never against
such facilities until I actually tried using them.



where, man, where

i noted a palpable change in your attitude towards things

but where.

The US also has roughly 750 bike fatalities per year. It's one of the

Now please tell us all what I am wrong about.

Statistics say that more Quebecois are killed

Also depending on whether you might have meant "IEDs." But perhaps
there is interesting data for what you described.

Yeah, guilty of a typo. Can't retract it. There for posterity.


MsJasmine_? RT @iHeartDes twitted today: I am done retracting typos. Half of
you can't spell anyway, so I'm in good company.
