oh, it worked...  after about 2 hours of trying and innumerable browser 
sessions timing out.  so far, it is another valuable tool proffered us 
by our govt to ease our minds and solve our problems in this time of 
nausea and fear.

let's see, i think i first remember people bitching about this 
"salespeople calling me at home while i'm eating dinner" issue about 
1986.  maybe 1985.

so, by applying some of that "New Math" it only took them 16 or 17 
years to decide that this was offensive to the American Public and then 
perhaps another year or so to design and implement this top-notch 
solution.

can't wait to see what they accomplish with this whole "War on Terror" 
by those time guesstimates.
