Telemarketers Sue to Block Do-Not-Call List
chumpieboy writes "A story on Yahoo tells about about the DMA's attempts to stop a national DoNotCall list, essentially claiming that Opt Out is not a viable model for telemarketers. Yet they claim that Opt Out is a viable model for email marketing?"
... first post. Good evening chaps!
did i get it????
Bring 'em ON!!!!!!! Grazny bratchneys...
great, so now i'm not even going to KNOW its a sales call.
slashdot: where everyone yells sarcastic metaphors to themselves to understand the issue
If they want a different job, they should get
a different job.
I figure if you annoy the callers enough, they'll
quit. In order to keep enough people on the phones
the telemarketing company will have to pay them more. Thus, the more I annoy the callers, the more I cost the telemarketing company.
On the other hand, speaking to supervisors is good too. I assume supervisors make more than the people manning the phones, so their time is more valuable to waste.
Oh wait, that would be a good thing. Let me think about this...
Ah ha! I have it!
In Soviet Russia YOU call telemarketers!
There.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Lasers Controlled Games!

All but Starr, Moon and Rutzebak have been reported to field offices.
At the last session of the board of Trustees, Mar. 2, 1951, a motion was made and passed that everyone employed by the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundations everywhere should be requested to sign a strong oath of loyalty to the U.S. government, a denial of Communism and that their fingerprints be taken and forwarded to the F.B.I. The operation of preparing and signing the oaths and fingerprinting all employees is now being undertaken and the results will be forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington as soon as these are completed. It may take some weeks to complete this task but the documents, as completed, will be sent in.
The Foundation has assumed a highly punitive stand on Communism. I shall shortly be in Washington to go over this matter with the government.
