Comments:

I am opposed to allowing telemarketers to use my phone or my email to sell me products. I pay for the use of my phone for my personal use, not as a medium for sales; therefore, I do not favor having it tied up by telemarketers. If I want some-thing, I can shop. The same things holds for my internet service. I suggest that those who want to use my e-mail to sell should instead set up a web site where I can log on to pick and choose to suit myself. I thought when I signed on to the "do not call" program that it was too good to be true. As it is now, I still got a call recently from a marketer in Florida. Please, don't ruin the few means of communication that we have with the constant annoyance of ringing phones and pop-up visuals or worse---entire printed pitches. WH
