I answer no calls unless I know the person/organization personally. If it is important I assume they will leave a message and I can then answer them, but I'd say 90% of the incoming calls result in the person/organization/computer terminating the call before my answering service picks up. When that happens I immediately dump the call, block the number and report junk.
