>>And just how does that stop the taped sales pitches?<<

BINGO

When it was human beings that I could talk to it was one thing. Now its voice messages. Or dial tones from not being the first to pick up a call from a mass dialer.

I am home all day to receive ALL these calls and we get an average of five calls a day from random sellers. (Then the occassional call from one of my credit cards or other businesses I do deal with that have new services they will conveniently bill to the credit card they already have the number of.)

You can't tell these people to put you on their DNC list cause there is no person to tell.

And even if you DO get a person to talk to they hang up so dang fast that you can't get ALL the info you need to actually go after them months later when they violate your request and call you back. I tried to get my monetary reward from MCI once and they laughed at me "When did you tell us to put you on our list?" I had no proof cause they hang up the second you say that ( usually like rude huffy little punks too.)

Telemarketers are (hopefully) finally getting what they deserve and I really don't care if tens of thousands of people now go unemployed- maybe they should have played the game smarter and not pee'd of 50 million plus people over and over and over.
