Beth, I know you are being a bit defensive of this suggestion, please 
don't take this comment as a criticism...but...

For those of us with lots of family out of the country, all of their 
calls come through as "Unknown".  So, unless we want to force our 
family to be screened, caller ID doesn't help us at all.  However, we 
have had a fair amount of success at getting off of people's call lists 
by *always* asking to be removed from their list.  Our calls have 
decreased dramatically lately.
