I wouldn't mind so much if they simply were listed on my caller ID or if they would leave a message. I member taking a phone courtesy course way back in grade school circa 1945-50, I have donated before when I did answer the phone, but who can be bothered remembering all of the legit 888 callers.

Here is their website http://www.unitedwarveterans.org/ . I notice you can also drop off donations at the Unique Stores (used items stores). I think it is for a good cause and a good way to recycle stuff instead of just throwing in the garbage.[/quote]
