Preferences...
...the point I was trying (and obviously failing) to make, was that if my preferences are set to "anyone", as they are ; yes, I get calls but they are preceded by "miss sexy boots wishes you to add her to your contact list" or some such, and you have the option to accept/decline/block/ignore. This call came straight into my contact list.
Needless to say there has been no reaction from Skype.
The reason I leave my preferences set to "anyone" is because over all the time I've used Skype I've re-established contact with lots of folks from my past to our mutual benefit.
