That's what answer boxes with caller ID's are for, Dave.  If its important 
enough, they WILL leave a message, and if there's no callerid, or just a 
phone number from some 885 precinct, it doesn't get answered.  Even though 
I'm on the NDNC list, the ^%$@* politicals are enough to drive one postal.
