Anyone else here bothered by the idea of a Kill Box?

[OGIS]

Some phone spammer called my cell phone yesterday - twice. They made a mistake: their number was callable, and they had a voice mail tree. Since I was riding the bus and not doing anything, I amused myself by calling them back a large number of times (I didn't count) leaving rude messages and sounds, and eventually filling up their mailbox. Juvenile, yes, but strangely satisfying.

Just hope they were not being investigated by the US Army....


......Say someone who owns a cellphone has been calling numbers that trigger a response from a computer at the Pentagon. Analysts will triangulate the cellphone’s whereabouts, and military leaders might initiate a “kill box” at that location, authorizing soldiers to kill everyone within the “box.” Mission accomplished.......

You just told them there's someone at your number who will answer. I think with some of these outfits that's all they want to know. As they make calls and people answer, they compile a lost of number to sell to marketers.

Don't answer. If they leave voicemail, check to see if important. If not, block their number.

And yet, like a moth to the flame, or pus to a pimple, you cannot stay away from them.

Is it because you have no brain cells to kill?
