Sick of being harassed by telemarketers, an American phone technician set upon them with a plan to waste their time instead of his.
He invented a ‘robot’: “a simple test that would apply to every new number that called his house, sending auto-dialled calls to a recorded message to waste their time…”
You won’t believe what happened next.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
