I personally think call-screening is one of the best things to come out of answering machines / voice mail.

kutulu: i think the interesting thing about this thread is the commentary on general manners and possibly the role of instant communication in our lives, not so much the cell phone specifics. No?
edit: from my perspective, the aspects of this discussion about simple (potentially) annoying public use of cell phone is an case where I think someone should be completely free to do something, I just wish they would choose not to.
