After I answered the phone, it took a few moments for the line to connect to a live operator, who fumbled with my name -- as though it had just, at that moment, come to her attention. She tried to sell me "vacations," citing me as a member of the Hilton Hotels loyalty program (in which, though I am registered, I am not active; it could have been a lucky guess on her part). But at no time did she say she was calling from Hilton Hotels or any designated subsidiary or representative of Hilton Hotels -- and her demeanor was decidedly NOT that of any person that a major corporation would want to have calling people on its behalf. Moreover, she was loathe to stop speaking when I asked her to please stop. At last, I interrupted her sales pitch and said to please take me off her calling list. I have no idea if my request will be respected.
