Comments:
I and my immediate family are on the Do Not Call List because we were being harassed daily at dinner time from unsolicited (expletive)s. I am extremely irritated to read that you guys are trying to turn the list into the "Humans, Do Not Call List". I, nor my family, want to be bothered by a machine calling us... that's almost more annoying than a real person because that means that we are the only ones wasting energy to walk over and pick up the phone. At least you can express your dissatisfaction that you are in the middle of dinner when a human calls. So, these recorded messages will be allowed when an "established business relationship" exists... yeah, how can that be proved? Companies have relationships with other companies and the wording of this modification to the rules of the Do Not Call List allows companies to abuse the List. DO NOT MAKE THIS CHANGE. Unless I know the company is supposed to call me, I don't want to hear from them. PERIOD. Leave us in our peace... it's been so nice sense we got on the list. No one calls anymore. No more persistent companies bothering us. Please don't mess up a good thing. -Andrew Losey
