OK, since Miss Manners is not on this list, I will have to ask the rest of
you -- which is more polite:  to say

1. "Thank you, I'm not interested" and hang up, leaving the telemarketer to
go on with the next call, which may be productive, or

2:  String them along, feigning interest, until you finally lose interest in
the game and tell them to buzz off, or

3.  Say, "Excuse me for a moment," put them on hold and go do something
else.
