Um, I believe everyone's being calm here. Your suggestion was just - well, 
not implementable. Apparently you don't get called much by telemarketers. 

FWIW I do have caller ID and my friends who don't opt to publish their 
numbers still get me to answer the phone (that ole Private Name Private 
Number thing) when I know they're calling. it's most handy for checking 
quickly who called instead of delving into voicemail-land when pressed for 
time. 

It's been a while since I got a telemarketer call to my house, though I 
don't know what prompted that.
