This is in regard to the proposed loophole to the current do-not-call system. The current do-not-call system should be the model by which other systems are measured. It has no perceptible flaws. The opt-out modifications being proposed are just the start of eroding the effectiveness of the system. An opt-in plan is far preferable to an opt-out plan, but why should either be needed? Keep the current do-not-call system the way it is, and bring other systems in line with it. After all, since the current do-not-call is perfect, why corrupt it? Change the other systems instead. After all, they're the flawed ones.
