I still find it annoying

...that at least 50% of the calls I receive on my cell phone that are not from cymrullewes are wrong numbers.  This is a symptom of the problem that there are no never-previously-issued phone numbers left any more, except in not-yet-in-use area codes.  All "new" phone numbers are recycled, and there's no way to globally purge or update all the old outdated records and Rolodex cards out there.

That's one of the reasons I wanted a cell phone that's unrestricted and can run programs to intercept non-whitelisted callers and give them the "are you really human and do you want to talk to me..." blah blah.

I just had some dumbass company send me a bill then sic a robot on me on the same day. I'm tempted to pay enough of it to stop collections.
