Same here. Isn't it odd that there are huge sales numbers being bandied  
about for sales being generated via phone solicitation, but I've never  
met anyone who EVER purchased a single thing that way. I think the  
sales numbers being reported by the DMA are about as accurate as the  
numbers from the RIAA describing how much money is being lost to file  
trading.
