I just had a discussion with my wife about this the other day (due to those that choose to violate the Do Not Call list). Phones are an interruption, and while at home, I choose not to automatically give #1 priority to phone callers. Telemarketers are time vampires, and just like you'd do anything you can to get rid of a "real" vampire — the same thing goes for phone vampires.

Same thing goes for public email addresses, such as domain name registration information. Any email sent there gets an autoresponder response that tells the sender to fill out a contact form. The email gets deleted (which means I never see the spam) and legitimate correspondents can get through to me.

I think you have a good system. Thanks for sharing it.

Best regards,
Tom
