- This is great. The PUC does or does not something thet Jerry
- likes, and he suggests harassing all the members by phone. Depending
- on the extent of the harassment it is illegal.
-
- If that happens I suggest the telephone company traces those calls
- and cut off service to the harassers. If you can't use a phone
- responsibly, it should be taken away.
-
- Caller ID will not prevent harassment from determined individuals;
- it might stop the casual person but that's it.
