REGARDING the Fly in the Ointment column on nuisance calls, several of which I suffer from most afternoons and evenings.

If you want to retaliate, the answer is that if the call is live and not a recording, just put the phone down on the desk, not on the receiver.

The line is still live even if the caller puts their phone down. They cannot use it and are getting charged!
