Oh; and here's something I did learn, for what it's worth. The PD "listens"
for a human voice, If it hears a short burst ("Hello?") followed by silence,
it connects you to an available operator. If it hears a longer burst,
indicating a voice mail greeting (This is Dick Cheney. I'm not here to take
your call..."), it hangs up. So, if you answer your phone with a sentence
longer than, say, 3 seconds, you'll get hung up on. Probably better to be on
"Do Not Call", but a handy trick to know, I've found.
