Leave a voice message?

Why would anyone want to have the world at large (or just the Internet users) leave them a voicemail message? Why? Why? Why?

I keep seeing these "Skype me" buttons on blogs.. that's like hanging a sign on your door "ring and run, it's fun!"

You'd have to be either

(a) so enamored with anything new, scripty and techy that you don't even notice how asinine and useless it really is.

or

(b) Desperate for human contact, any human contact.. even a stranger's heavy breathing while he does god-knows-what on his end.

What's next, instant, virtual kick-me signs?

Careful, you may have just given some developer with too much time (not me), a new idea. :-)

Uh, why do you think people put phone numbers on web sites? And why do you sexistly think that only males would call?

uh.. sorry, forgot you're supposed to give equal-opportunity-examples when ranting.. how non-pc of me.

My "kick me" sign isn't virtual...
