Re: OT - No-Call list
I've done quite a bit of this, too.
Once there was a company that saturated the entire neighborhood where I lived with business reply cards, putting them on everyone's windshield, doorstep, and who knows where else - they were everywhere. I mailed large quantities of them back to them.

Re: OT - No-Call list
Yeah, I heard that and laughed! That's what you get for thinking I should be paying for something you should be taking care of. But, let's face it, we both know you'll get the Last laugh.

Hrmph. Like Dave Barry said in his column a couple of weeks ago...

Maybe we could pay the telemarketing industry not to call us, kind of like paying "protection money" to organized crime. Or maybe we could hire organized crime to explain our position to telemarketing industry executives, who would then be given a fair opportunity to respond, while the cement was hardening.

They don't call me anymore. And I never did get one to sing with me.
