Our phone in the 60's was party lined with two other houses, you could hear them on the line as you talked, lessening to what was being said, and the phone number's were only four numbers then.

Thank you, my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell for posting the music video of Sugarloaf performing "don't call us, we'll call you" in honor of National Techies Day.
Yesterday as I was riding with the wrecker driver taking the RAV4 to be repaired [Ranson, WV to Leesburg, VA] he received two phone calls on his business cell phone from scammers trying to get him to divulge personal information. He told me that once he was in front of a police station and got a phone call from somebody threatening that a warrant was being issued in his name unless … He asked is that x city or Jefferson County and he mentioned that policemen from those districts were next to him and he named them. The caller hung up. :-)
I would be surprised at all if some techie classes have nefarious such as scamming, penetration of secure networks, spoofing and trolling anonymously especially in institutions that are run by radical progressives.

I am from a time even further back, we had a battery powered radio an Atwater Kent as I recall, had a wall phone but the "number" was a certain series of "rings", EG, 3 shorts and a long, and it was definitely a party line.
