Subject: Hush-Hush Hooray, Says NYC
I'm writing in response to the article, Hush-Hush Hooray, Says NYC, Aug. 17, 2002. Here's my desired feature for my next phone – a button that answers the phoneand automatically says to the caller: "Hi! I'm answering your call, but I'mwalking out of the theatre/restaurant/art museum right now, so I'm not goingto actually talk to you for another 30 seconds. Hang in there!"
As things are right now, I either have to make a mad dash for the exit, orelse press Talk and leave my caller with a deafening silence as they say,
"Hello? Hello? Are you there?"
