Comments:

I view all telemarketing calls, no matter whether I supposedly have a business relationship or not, as very intrustive. I think there should be NO exceptions to the no-call rule. (Even with charities to whom I contribute, if they call me rather than mail, I tell them not to call again). The idea of using pre-recorded messages is even uglier than regular telemarketing. Not only are they invading my privacy, but they are doing it at no incremental cost to themselves, and without a live person. THIS IS EVEN MORE OFFENSIVE THAN REGULAR TELEMARKETING. DON'T LET THEM DO IT!!!!
