And as for your idea that one should just get a phone with caller ID, that doesn't wash. I find the sound of phone ringing to be jarring and disruptive.

Then turn your phone off or throw it out.

We're just inventing new rights by the hour here. Now it's the Constitutional right to not have your phone ring.

The Constitutional right to ring somebody else's phone even when that somebody doesn't want you to ring their phone -- now that's BOR material.

If only I could.

However, I have a family, including a daughter at school. Phone has to stay for emergencies, and we use the Net a lot.

I disagree.

i have a right to not have sales people bother me at dinner-time by activating a device in my living room from a distance.

I would not like it if they stood outside my house and screamed, and I MIGHT be inclined to set the dog on them !
