And who's problem is it that you can no longer screen
your calls? You will see its a call from your company
whether or not you decide to answer it leaves little
for argument here.

Not to rant on you but by "boo hoo the law is evil
because my indentured servant won't tie my shoes" is
irrelevant and would never get a second listen in any
political arena. Unless of course you lobbied the
right people.

A better argument might have been "I run a victim
services agencies in which women who were raped
assist callers and we need to protect their privacy
so we'd like to be able to have their home number
reflect our main number to allude to them being
located at a central point". Not some "God! Now
I have to answer my phone!" crybabyish babbling.
