Denver,
Now I'm really intrigued. But first some housekeeping.

My original statement referred to the phone which is an inaninate object. If you took offence on behalf of that object... sorry, not my problem

Ummm... errrr... ah... Don't hunt much, do you?

I don't, although some folks are now using only a cell phone, and in that case I would.
This is the part that piqued my interest.
My statement was,
"If you want or feel you need to have a phone turned on 24/7 that has become your option." Are you saying you go to the effort to carry a cell phone on a bike and then
turn off your "land line" when you get home********** If so I commend you! You do know it IS possible to ummm... "cut the cord".... so to speak
If that was not your meaning,
"did you just add that to make some kind of a point?" 
If you haven't noticed, I do tend to poke a bit of gentle (I hope) fun at a lot of things- including myself. I'm a touch more serious in funnin' the extremists on both the right and the left (my avatar should explain why). If anyone is bothered... well, I suppose they can always ignore me
