- I have got calls from a local church, which uses an automated dialer
- to call in the afternoons and exhort people to attend church. I have
- also got a call from an automated dialer which is reminding me to vote
- for the Republican party in the next presidential election. I did not
- find either of these offensive, although I found them both rather
- silly wastes of telephone switching capability.
