Oh, ny latest pet peeve is these d*mn recorded solicitations that leave their long spiel on your voice mail. Problenm with mine is I can't erase a call until the entire message is played. It really hacks me off!

Maybe I should clarify.

If you get a combined internet / long distance phone provider, you get a long distance number which can be reached as if it were e-mail. But it is voice-mail.

Then unscrupulous spammers concoct a voice mail message and broadcast it to every available internet long distance voice mail box they can find. You wind up listening to unwanted solicitations in order to find the real messages.

And you thought spam was bad...
