[Cialug] another phone

[David Champion]

I've only ever received 1 or 2 telemarketing calls on my cell phone line 
in the 10 years or so that I've had one. It is illegal to do soliciting 
on cell phone numbers. I also put my cell phone # on the do-not-call 
list, even though it's redundant, but I wonder if that's also helped.
