Caller ID

This Caller ID controversy (“Telephone Line With a Hook,” July 15) has me a bit annoyed. If I wish to subscribe to a call-screening service and you feel your privacy is being violated or if you have an unlisted number you wish to keep private, I have a perfect solution for your problem. Just do not call me. Isn’t that simple?

Since you have my phone number and are able to call me, aren’t I entitled to the same privilege of knowing your phone number? Also I certainly should have the opportunity to screen the phone calls I receive if I so desire.
