Comments:
Please, PLEASE, PLEASE do not allow automated calling, or any new exceptions, to the Do Not Call list. This action would make the calls far more intrusive and abusive than they were before you took our needs and desires as consumers into consideration. We want our homes to be separate from the ever-growing commercialization of our lives. At the least, for our sanity, we need the choice of when to let others into our homes, both physically, and via phone. With this proposed exception, with the human element removed from the equation (no one even to tell this is unacceptable to us), then the frustration, the helplessness , the destruction of the sanctuary that is our privacy will be total. PLEASE don't cave to the cynicism that says we are all commodities to be sold. PLEASE don't place dollars over the value of the individual. You did a good thing when you installed this system. Please don't go back on your word. PLEASE don't allow this to happen. Respectfully,
