The caller ID number is fake and is changed regularly. It has nothing to do with where they are calling from.

Here's what you did when you went all over the Usenet impersonating the

* home address

YOU did that, you evil *******!

She should call the cops. I've already publicly admitted it is me so

My Garmin used to drive me insane yelling 'recalculating, recalculating,
recalculating' if I decided I wanted to go another way! I now have Tom

You gotta wonder some times. I had a Tom Tom that did curious things.
If I was headed from my house in the middle of the Niagara Peninsula to
Hamilon or Toronto I natural make a right turn out of my driveway to
take me to a major regional road that leads to the highway.
Alternately, I could make that right turn and then the next right, a
short jog left than right and over to another regional road that takes
me to the one that goes to the highway. It is almost exactly the same
time and distance. TomTom always told me to make a left, and that would
take me a half mile int he opposite direction, then north and onto the
road I could have reached going my way but with a mile less driving.

One time I was driving to a family function, a Christening, as a church
in Toronto. I could not locate the church exactly, so I set TomTom for
a nearby intersection. It would take about an hour and a half gave me
an ETA of 11:34 am. The roads were clear and I was doing a little
better than the speed limit.... about 10 mph over.

About 2/3 of the way there, Mr. TomTom suddenly recalculated the trip
and added 5 minutes to the trip, making my ETA 11:59. It would have
made sense if I had been held up in traffic, but since I was exceeding
the speed limit, it should have cut at least that much time off the
trip. However, when it announced that I had reached my destination I
looked at my watch and it was 11:59, exactly the time it had predicted.

I also had an issue with it on the 401 through Toronto. That is a 14
lane expressway through the top of the city. It has 4 lanes of express
and 3 lanes of collector lanes each way. When I was in the express lanes
it told me to move over to the collectors, and if I was in the
collectors it told me to move over to the express lanes.

After the Christening we went back to my nephew's, and that was where
TomTom really helped. I had to drive through a busy part of the city and
then into an area with a lot of one way streets and turn restrictions.
It took me on a route that got me there in a fraction of the time that I
had expected.


When I was in California last fall I had our newer GPS, a Garmin. It was
a lot harder to set destinations, but otherwise very handy. I did run
into a snag as we got close to San Francisco. I was expecting the
highway I was on to take us quite a bit further but I listened to the
Garmin when it told me to exit right, turn right, turn right..... back
onto the same highway. Then,..... exit right, turn right, turn right.
Damn. I was stuck in a loop. I ignored the next instruction to exit
right and stayed on for another 10 miles or so, and then everything was
good.

One of the major flaws for the DoNotCall list is calls from the same area
code are effectively excluded from the list.

So spammers have figured that out, and use their equipment to sort their
lists and use fake local numbers to deflect complaints, and there is
not ONE damned thing anyone can do about it.

Yep. The technology available is well ahead of the laws and telco
companies existing equipment's ability to stop it.

That's why I take the time to have some fun with them and see how long I
can keep them on the line. If I have nothing important to do I keep them
busy for as long as I can, or as long as I can do it without laughing.
If I am wasting their time they can't be bothering other people.

Wasting their time is the only defence we have really.

I got one to my cell phone yesterday. Was a Bothell number. Did not

Older, foreign sounding man answered and said that I must have dialed the
