Are you experiencing this as well?
I am in a position where I expect calls from unknown numbers, HOWEVER, I have an answering machine. If I do not recognize the caller or number, I DO NOT pick up. If they start to leave a message pertinent to me, I WILL pick up and explain my position. They always understand. Simple. I will never get rid of my landline.
