Telemarketers Sue Over "Do Not Call" List

Joey Patterson writes "CNN reports that 'Telemarketers expanded their legal challenge to the government's do-not-call list, suing a second federal agency over the call-blocking service for consumers that the industry says will devastate business and cost as many as two million jobs.'"

Firstoff, you gotta wonder about someone who is that paranoid about who calls 'em.

Second, there's no point in paying extra for all this crap. I have NO special services on my phone line, yet I get only one or two junk calls per YEAR. Why? Because about 15 years ago, the Daily News annoyed me into telling them to put me on their Do Not Call list. (Back then, each telemarketer was required by CA state law to maintain their own DNC list.)

Now, most telemarketers use the same master call list, including the same DNC list. So being DNC'd by the Daily News meant I was also DNC'd for the master list that most of the telemarketers use. And my phone line has been free of all these bastards ever since.
