Calls with caller ID of 800 888 4555 have called my home 3 times a day for about a week. Various "whose calling" sites identified it as a polling agency that typically asks to speak to the woman of the house, so today I handed the phone to my wife. A person actually answered this time and identified that they wanted to poll the household on Rent Control in Mountain View. Perhaps I need to begin calling the sponsors of the 2 competing questions at all hours of the day. The woman on the other end of the line said they would take our number off there list. I know that political and polling entities are not bound by the "do not call" list, but it takes a special kind of stupid to think that someone not wanting phone solicitations all suddenly going to be willing to interrupt their day to answer polling questions.
