DO NOT CALL...this should be just what it says! That is the reason people have registered to be on the listing. DO NOT CALL...what part of this three word statement do the regulators and the marketing companies not understand? DO NOT CALL!!! Thank you for giving me my right to have a communication vehicle that is private and for my personal use. To be able to answer the telephone knowing that it is family, friend or emergency without having to screen all of them first. To not have the telephone ringing from early morning till late night just to try and sell me something that if wanted or needed would be searched for on my own accord, using the monster-sized telephone books we receive yearly. To not be harrassed by the criminals that can hide behind this vehicle to bilk money out of me or my aging Mother with very little worry about being caught. Computer email spam is destroying the internet communication but at least can be deleted with a stroke of a computer key and is silent. Telephones are more invasive as they require a ringing sound to be made and if using an answering machine hearing the voice of some scripted UNKNOWN person. DO NOT CALL. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
