I'm sooo tempted to call it (from work, obviously)

Maybe I can call him and he can locally ask the man who emailed me regarding an inheritance money transfer, why it hasn't gone through yet... i gave him my checking account number and everything!

I wonder if he has considered email to supplement his campaign.

Only one call can be made at a time, and messages isnt always convenient enough to contain the message.

So citizens, unable to reach him, would later be able to email him the problem.

Of course, this is assuming he doesnt get totally spammed by his own people.

I did call (from work) and it does ring.. although I think I would be fired if the call connected... so I hung up..

But you could always fax him....

Your sad devotion to that ancient markup has not helped you increase accessibility, or given you clairvoyance enough to help you reduce bandwidth costs
