[dba-Tech] Why I just destroyed my cell phone

Rocky,

You certainly struck a resonant chord with me. When I am out in the world,
increasingly rarely, I most definitely do not want to be interrupted by a
cell-call. Even when I'm at home, I don't want such interruptions, unless
from recognized numbers.

Physical mail is easy enough to deal with -- just toss it in the trash bin.
But for some reason, I keep receiving emails from web sites offering free
sex-chats with Chinese, Russian, Czech, Hungarian and other ethnic women.
The up-side is that at least they recognize that I'm heterosexual. But even
though I spam them, they keep coming. I don't know how they find me, and
why they think I'd pay money for net-sex with some stranger, but I don't
know how to stop all this. I mark all these emails as spam but that doesn't
seem to help.

On the other hand, someday, sometime, I would love to make music with you.
My instrument is tabla, which actually might be redundant with bass, but
maybe with a guitar and a violin we could make something work. What the
hell, let's toss in a banjo! As irt happens, I know a virtuoso player,
Steve Martin -- a very gifted player. Wait, I didn't mean that I know him
personally, just that I've seen him play and he is incredibly gifted. So
I'm going to continue with this fantasy that you're on bass and I'm on
tabla and Steve is on banjo, and we're going to invent a new genre called
Country Eastern Jazz. ☺
