We've given up trying!

As I've said in the past, the vast majority of ringers are NOT the 
Philistines you make them out to be. 

Recording bell data is not difficult (whereas interpreting it probably 
is), with some basic training, or even a good data sheet on 'what to do 
and how to do it', most people could record bell details accurately and 
I'm sure many would be willing to help.
