Every 8 weeks, the vampires at the American Red Cross call me to schedule
another blood donation, and I'm sure that the number on my caller-ID isn't the
actual phone number attached to the specific seat at the call center.

And I'm pretty sure that until I answer the call, there's no really good way to
distinguish between a robo-call with a recorded message and a robo-dialed
call with an actual carbon-based lifeform at the call center on the call...

(If I'm wrong on that one, feel free to enlighten me.. :)
