I've gotten to the point that I don't answer my home phone at all. I've tried for years to get organizations to put me on their "Do Not Call" list. Anyone that I want to talk to knows my cellphone number. When I'm home, I turn on my fax machine. That way after two rings they get the fax signal... Take That Scammers!
