Lordy there must be a lot of bored people on the other end. Just
listening to the one end of some long cell phone conversations for a few
moments leads me to believe that listening to and/or reading all that
stuff would take hundreds of thousands of agents and they would lose
thousands to funny farms every month.
Just because they "can", technically, doesn't mean they "can", practically.
How would you like to have tomonitor this and a few hundred other lists
every day, most or all of them on subjects in which you have no
interest? Got to be one of the circles of a contemporary hell.
