Thanks for the feedback.
After some thought, I'm just keeping it. As I mentioned initially, for the piece of mind of having it.
It will still give the telemarketers the chance to leave a message on my ancient answering machine. Along with the scammers who call about, "My SSN is suspended and I must act now" and all the other scamming BS.
Stay safe and may we all make it through this screwy year.
