M,
Not to sound too flip, but I consider my answering machine a great friend. It allows me to avoid calls I don't want, and return those that I want to (or feel obligated to).Miss Manners says that "Oh, I'm so sorry, I can't make it" is fine for avoiding social situations we would prefer to ...er, eschew.
