  Seminar caller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A seminar caller is someone who telephones a radio talk show for the purpose of astroturfing, which is the mass promotion of a particular product, service or political point of view as if it were genuinely spontaneous, or grassroots.
Many seminar callers try to portray themselves as regular people, claim to agree with the host's point of view, then begin to read a contrary opinion from an agenda or list of talking points widely circulated by a group known to oppose the views of the host.
Before the 2004 U.S. presidential election, seminar callers began to tell more elaborate stories to esablish credibility, behaving as if they were actors playing the role of someone with beliefs opposite of their own, in an attempt to erode the opposing candidate's "base" of political support.

 The Rush Limbaugh Show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When it came time to cut end the call, Limbaugh would play his "caller abortion" sound effect – the sound of a vacuum cleaner together with a woman screaming.
Later, caller abortions were dropped as a device.
A caller with an excellent point who does not have time enough to engage in on air discourse.

Other privacy advocates are worried that Caller ID involuntarily keeps a record of the caller’s number which in turn can be shared, sold, or seen by unauthorized viewers.
Caller ID has hurt police, bill collectors, child support investigators, schools or anyone tying to find someone.
Caller ID and Star38 will probably only hurt legitimate callers while the sleezebag callers will use pay phones, internet calls, and disposable cell phones.

 Seminar Email
There is a popular radio talk-show host who gets calls from people he dubs, “seminar callers.” He says (probably tongue-in-cheek) that these callers have attended a seminar at which they have been taught how to get past the call screener, and told how to embarrass the host once they get on the air.
If the seminar emailer really has extensive biological knowledge, and really has read our articles, and found errors in them, he would have told us what those errors are.
The seminar emailer writes as if his biological expertise is exceeded only by his theological understanding.

 EFF:
At a phone-industry seminar on Caller ID, the debate was framed as pitting "individual consumer privacy" against "new billion dollar marketing and productivity opportunities." The industry marshalls vast resources to take advantage of this opportunity.
Unless the caller always calls from the same number, and you have a miraculous memory, you will not be able to convert the number into the caller's identify.
Real Caller ID would optionally provide the caller's identity (which could be captured in a number of ways), not a numerical identifier best suited to be a database key.

 Don Armstrong Caller Seminar
He (the dancer) executes the action primarily to the beat of the music, and the timing allocated to this action is the responsibility of the caller.
From the caller's point of view they are practically synonymous, except that in most cases the term “cue” is more specifically used in reference to round dancing.
The third difference between a square dance and a quadrille is that the caller “prompts” (cues) the quadrille so that the dancers can hear and start on the first count of the next musical phrase.
