Rage against the machine
I got one of those "Dear blogger, We have something to sell your readers" e-mails this afternoon. I'm not game enough to get too involved, but the service they're offering does look interesting.

Here's a way to get directly to a human, without having to give your phone number to someone else (who might harvest it and feed it to millions of phone spammers). Just go to http://www.gethuman.com/us/ and you'll find phone numbers to get you directly to a human. And to top it off, there are a lot more places listed than at the place you linked to.

The gethuman.com database is really good. I've tried several of them, and they've all worked as documented. Highly recommended.

Not to brag (OK, I AM bragging) but the way I run my shop, the Liens section of the Revenue Bureau, you get a "live person" (sometimes even me) on, usually, the FIRST RING.
No phone tree.
Real people. Right away.
It can be done. But you have to commit to it as a "value."

Yeah, but they're in Pakistan.

Bit odd--when you click the "About Us" link, it appears that the company has changed its business model rather substantially (and perhaps a bit suddenly).
