then it's damn good we interact on the boards, because you would hate my phone policy
I pretty much
never answer my phone. But I'll call back a minute later. I do it to my best friends. They do it to me. We love it.

How is a phone call so different than hearing two people talk? You don't get to listen to both sides of the conversation?

well, it isn't. i also find it a little annoying when two people next to me in [enter public area] and are talking like they are the only two people there. when i was way-back in school, they used to talk about the old "twelve inch voice" and i think stuck with me. frankly, i don't personally want a bunch of strangers hearing what i say to my friends, so i keep low myself regardless of questions of ettiquette. i don't really care if they're on a phone, talking to another person, or talking to themselves - i just wish they'd keep it where i can't hear. same for the phone. a low phone voice in a subway-type public area = pigglet doesn't care.
