I hate the ones without a name and often don't bother to reply. I also don't like the ones that are obviously not the primary email address. They seem like an "unknown caller" to me. And, yes, I do use caller ID on my phone. If I see "unknown caller" I don't answer it as it is almost always solicitation calls, which I despise. In fact, I am one of those people who doesn't enjoy using the phone and does not have a cell phone. I can't imagine taking one of those things around with me. I'd just as soon eat dirt.
If someone wants to get in touch with me, email is best. I enjoy email as I can answer at my convenience and not be interrupted in the middle of dinner as so often happens with those atrocious people at MCI. I was so rude to one of them one time, that she hung up on me. Not profane, just aggressively questioning, "who is this", "why are you calling me", etc.(they never want to admit that they are trying to sell you something).
