We get all of those, too, many times every day.

I have an assistant who is obsessed with those calls and reports every one. She is of the belief that those calls cost us money due to the time she spends answering them. The reality is that her 'solution' probably costs far more than does the 'problem'.

But she is such a sweetheart and so valuable to me that I could never mention it.
