first,

- a big thank-you to khuong
for this life-saving (literally!) program.

second,

- to all those who are asking for the additional
function to 'do something extra' for blocked calls:

There are two very good reasons not to do this
in this program (maybe in another program)

1.
This code works - as advertised.
The ancient linux mantra for code,
of doing a single thing well
and leaving other efforts to other programs
applies.
Further additional complexity invites breakage
of the basic purpose.

2.
From my (personal) recent study of the psychology
behind blocking calls,
it becomes apparent that anything besides
zero-contact merely aggravates the blocked caller
which in turn incites the caller to seek
alternate methods of trying to engage your time.

...speaking from current (real-time) experience...
