John, can you help us all out with telemarkers as well? Ha, ha, ha

I know off topic but I'm on the do not call list (which is a joke) and get these calls now from Canada for services I don’t even need. After a stint of being nasty and name calling, I started to play games with them. The old, hold on one second, or speaking in an accent they can’t understand, or talking but hitting mute on and off. It was entertaining for a while but got old.

Now, I say to them "why are you calling me at this number? this is a business line" and they usually say, “sorry, we will take you off our list immediately” Seemed to help reduce the calls.

Comcast allows me to block at the CO up to 40 numbers. I keep adding or subtracting based on the change of what number is calling.

I also do the 2 sec no voice, hang up .
