I must confess that I am sometimes plagued by cold callers, and my mobile cannot block them. It can, however, remember their numbers. The next time they ring I answer "Saluton! Kiu parolas?" and pretend to speak no English. They don't ring back. ridego.gif

If you don't mind, I think i will steal this idea and use it when i get political calls (Only a few more weeks...)

I've always meant to do the "no English" thing on cold callers, but I never manage to think of it when I pick up.

Yes, that's the one time when in my opinion, it would be acceptable to answer the phone in Esperanto, to someone who doesn't speak Esperanto.

My actual opinion on this topic that saying "saluton" to everyone (or "ha lo" on the telephone, or anything of the nature) in the hopes that you will find someone who speaks Esperanto is a bad idea. In my opinion it will only make people think that you are strange, and that Esperanto speakers are strange, rather than giving a positive impression.
Ah! Ok, I see what you mean. On the other hand, I am strange and so I would probably use "saluton" anyways ridulo.gif
