Do _NOT_ call means exactly that. I do NOT wish to get a prerecorded message to consumers with whom the seller on whose behalf the calls are made has an established business relationship.. Thats SPAM.. I do not want in in my email and I do not want it on my telephone. People who desire to get such intrusive advertising pitches may communicate that idea to the direct marketing folks.. Those of us who have gone to considerable trouble and expense to OPT OUT of such sales pitches should not be subject to such invasive and intrusive tactics. I do not wish to get sales pitches from robotic dialers under any circumstances. If I need a product or service.. I will contact a vendor.. THATS when I am willing to listen to a sales pitch.. my vendors know this.. thats why they still have the account. Please do not further erode the limited privacy protections allready on the books.Bandwidth costs real money.. every time someone has to stop productive work and dispense with an unsolicited phone call is time lost that might have been spent in a more pleasant pursuit.. having a bagel.. daydreaming about a vacation or perhaps working on something productive like taking out the trash. Unsolicited phone calls and email are a serious drain on the resources of everyone involved. It is not in the public interest to further burden folks with advertisments they have allready firmly requested that they not be subject to. We allready went to the time and expense to get listed as NO CALL.. guess what.. we meant it
