    Default Telemarketers, i rebuke thee in the name of all that is holy

    Go there. Register home phones AND cell phones. I got a Telemarketer trying to sell me a time-share at some resort in Branson, MO, this evening. Do you know how hard i hit the roof when i answered without thinking and found out my cell phone minutes were being wasted by some high school kid trying to hit me up to buy a god damned TIMESHARE. I almost went off on the kid, but i pulled back. Not the kid's fault, he's trying to get some cash so he can take his girlfriend to the movies or something. I said "Get me your supervisor now, please."

    Then i used my cell phone minutes to read a telemarketing supervisor the fucking RIOT ACT.

    So register your cell phones, too. And remember that most telemarketers are either 17 or 70, and are just trying to get by.

    Yet I heard it won't protect you (as will happen when Australia's "do not call" register comes into affect eventually) against charities using telemarketing efforts to raise funds as they are non-profit ventures???????????

    Correct. The Do Not Call list also will not protect your phone number against people doing surveys, or commercial entities whom you do already business with (like magazines you subscribe to), as I found out last Spring.

    But I figured fewer telemarketers were better than all of them, so all my phone numbers are registered.

    Telemarketers just don't call me anymore. I would just pick up the phone and scream into it at the top of my lungs until they hung up. I think their ears hurt!

    Fucking telemarketing!! I just had a home phone turned on and immediately started getting 5+ calls a day! As soon as I heard a real voice (not those damn recorded ones) I would tell them to stop, then explain, then say "permanently take me off your list". I'm going to register now that I have internet. Thanks for the reminder!
    I wouldn't mind once a month but 5 bleeping times A DAY!! That's insane!!
