Being an insomniac I waited until 2 a.m. to register
and it went through right away ;-)

Man, you guys are slooow.......just this once!

I registered our primary line on Friday, 6/27 at breakfast time -- then,
smart-ass hubby asked if I thought to register our *second* line for faxes &
rollover from first line?

nooooooo

My point -- look ahead! Just because I know one line is a fax number
doesn't mean that telemarketers recognize it as such!

Also, I recommend the TeleZapper that we have attached to our primary [and
business] line -- although we were prepared to disconnect it if clients
complained about the [brief] tone, very few have asked us about it; most of
those who did asked if we were taping the calls [no], and all were
supportive of our effort to free ourselves of telemarketers.

Drat, those TeleZappers don't work for those on
call when a computer calls you.

Indeed. And my corner of the internet (USA, New York State) has had "do
not call" for a while. Works a treat.

"Walter" the koi, have been released into an earth pond 3 years ago, is now
approaching 3 feet long. Has the resident bass pretty well terrorized, as
if he cares.

Telezapper doesn't work as well as it used to. The telezapper simulates the
tone that the phone company produces on phone numbers that are out of
service. It worked fine for while, atleast until telemarketing companies
modified their predictive dialers to recognize the difference between a line
that is truely out of service, and one that is connected to a telezapper.

Not like any of this makes a difference if millions of our knuckleheaded
countrymen continue to respond to surveys or buy good from those that call
our house. I suspect the value of a DNCL is minimal. It is extremely easy to
relocate a call center offshore and continue to do business as usual.

John,

Consider it from our point of view:

We can see, recognize, and delete junk email.

We can see, recognize, and dispose of junk mail.

We cannot, however, recognize "junk" phone calls, so we have to answer them
all. Admittedly, my thinking is tuned to the calls that we receive from
"unknown" numbers, each of whom is a potential client. Not to mention the
call that we received late one night from a total [but totally blessed]
stranger who called us after reading the phone number on the collar of our
dog, who had just been hit by a car.

Just my $.02 worth,

Anne Lurie (too doggoned stubborn to choose a "cute" screen name or email
address after all these years)
