Quote - I like citing the telecommunications laws about the use of private lines for conducting business without written consent.  You can charge the calling company what ever you want and try to collect.  One of our past District Attorney's turned me on to this trick.  It's amazing how quickly they get off the line.

 

It is a good ploy and one I have used successfully.  I used to get calls from a Mortgage company (UK) about three a day until I started saying "As you have called me I deem this call to come under our consultancy agreement and therefore the charge of £100, charged in 15 minute blocks now applies.  How may I help?"  The calls became very short indeed and in just over a week they stopped calling altogether.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
