Patrick, a big yes vote with your side! How the hell does a caller have the right to anonymity! THEY SURE AS BLEEP know who you, the recipient, are! The ACLU is better off defending Nazis in Peoria, or other All-American wholesome activities. If a caller wants to be untraceable, they can use the time-honored technique of using a payphone (yes, even a dreaded COCOT!). This has been a technique beloved of careful whistle-blowers, informants, bookies, u-name-it. I would allow anonymity to callers, but at a $2.00 charge, half to the phone co., half to me!
