Google is becoming more of a PITA.
Those aren't Google, those are SEO companies. Somehow my phone number got associated with a roofing company in Missouri owned by someone with the same surname and I sometimes get 2-3 of those calls per day. When I get bored I try to see how long I can keep them on the phone and if I can, get their company name/addr/etc., although usually as soon as I start that line of questioning they hang up on me. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
