When did this become a FS group?

When did this become a FS group? About the same time that a Kurzweil mk10 digital became a grand piano.

Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.

Then step up to the plate and tell them. I get tired of being the one to do it. They shouldn't be doing it, and it is the responsibility of the group at large to step in and say something when it happens. You're a member of the group at large just like everyone else, no offense, but quit whining and write a post to them telling them to quit.

Doing the work of three men.....Larry, Curly, & Moe

I used to have two telephone numbers, one for voice and one for modem. The second line's number, which was unpublished and which was rarely called, was the first line's number plus a small number. So I knew whenever I got a telemarketer call on my listed number, and the second line rang shortly thereafter, it would probably be the same telemarketer. This was in the days before 'don't call' lists were in effect. Here's a typical exchange:

[first line rings] Me: Hello. TM: Hello, Mr. Stevens, this is Jennifer with the Orlando Sentinal..... [I'd get rid of her and go back to work]

[second line rings] Me: Jennifer, is that you?

[A confused dialog follows with the TM wanting to know who I am and how I know who she is, and me asking why someone who calls me doesn't know who they called.]

TM: Come on, who is this, really? Me: This is the Florida Psychic Hot Line. What problem can I help you with, Jennifer? Are you unhappy working for the Orlando Sentinel? We'll start with your credit card number...

To return to topic: Do piano sales personnel ever use cold calling marketing

ROFL! Hilarious... If a piano salesman ever called up to sell me a piano, that might be a lot of fun. 'A piano? No thanks. I'm trying to quit.'

or:

'Gosh, I've already bought four this month from piano telemarketers. What a bummer for you, hey?' <G>

Only those who sell pianos with 'tone collectors' in them......
