3/13    Been getting a lot more telemarketer calls in the past few weeks
        than before, what's going on?
        \_ Have you been protesting the war in Iraq?  Could be the FBI.
        \_ you got on a list.  every time you get a call insist that
           they take you off the list.  within a few weeks the calls
           will stop.  amazing how legislation to stop telemarketers
           actually works.
           \_ you should ask them to put you on their do not call list,
              not to be taken off their list
                \_ I've been doing this for like a year. Still get lots of
                   telemarketer calls. The National DO NOT CALL ME
                   YOU PUNKS list should help.
                   \_ my experience has been that requesting to be put on
                      a do not call list works...with one glaring exception.
                      AT&T. i've told those fucks more than four times now
                      to put me on their do not call list, and they say
                      they've done it, then they just call again.
                      i can only take solace in the fact that as a former
                      fone phreak i've cost them almost enough to compensate
                      me for my time.
                      \_ Note the date/time, name, and address of callers.
                         You can ask for $500 as a fine... I've written
                         down how this process works but don't have it
                         handy.  You basically mail them and ask.
                      \_ we're all in this together...
