Observations about caller characteristics and commonalities also  
relate to my left-handedness thread from a few weeks ago.

  nicely put, tina!  i couldn't agree more.
 for my part, on the "isn't that interesting" front, i've noticed  
 that there are many callers in my circle who are (or have been)  
 various sorts of educator/teachers and/or are first-born children.   
 both of these loose associations seem pretty logical -- as has been  
 pointed out, good calling involves good teaching while managing  
 groups of people, often of varying skill levels, effectively enough  
 to ensure a positive experience for the greatest number.  and  
 eldest children often have spent years practicing orchestrating &  
 leading, and are "quite-comfortable-telling-others-what-to-do- 
 next".  as tina points out, it's just an observation, sort of like  
 observing that there are lots of math/engineering professionals  
 attending modern urban contradances.
 ah, which brings me to another association - many callers are prone  
 to observing, noticing patterns and making guesses about why those  
 patterns might be occurring.  hah!  :-)
