Quote of the Day by fightinJAG

I open all my junk mail, hoping for getting a "no postage necessary" envelope, which I promptly send back, empty.

Costing those companies another 20 cents or so for each piece of junk mail they send gives me a bit of satisfaction.

Now he's done it. Since he's called Minnesota Auto Glass, they now have a record of him initiating a call with them and can LEGALLY pester him for the next 18 months under the new federal law.

What he needs to do is document, document, document then file a claim. Almost all these laws have penalties for violating the do-not-call rules. Make them bleed money, and they'll stop calling.

Of course, if I ever get fed up, I plan on waiting for the live person to get on the line and then release an air horn next to the mouthpiece. That might get somebody's attention!

Any PROGRAMMERS out there fed up as I am?
What we need is a simple auto-dial program that lets our machines spend ALL their free time calling these bastards back five or ten times a SECOND...Sweet, poetic revenge...

Hey, I can dream, can't I?

One month after the Minnesota "Do not call" list went into effect I got a call from a telemarketer for the Minneapolis Star Tribune. I asked if she knew what the "Minnesota Do Not Call" list was, and added that the Red Star was in violation. Her response was that she was at a call center in Ohio.
