Hey Gil;

I use the same "plan" on my e-mail as I do with my smart phone:

If I don't recognize your e-mail address or your phone number, I won't 
answer.

If you leave your name & number & the reason you're calling we'll see.

UE,
K2EAA - TONY
NNNN

Never tell a young person that something cannot be done.
God may have been waiting for centuries for somebody
ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing.
