I agree about caller id - great invention that I have embraced fully. I answer a phone if and when I want to talk. If they don't have caller id, I usually will not answer. If it is important the person will leave a message.

I used to have a horrible case of phone phobia, Eagle. The last few years I have been better, but I still have a jump now and then when it rings.
