Capt Garrett,<br><br>I have had fairly good luck with the DNC list... but then again, I live in Minnesota which was a pioneer in DNC. When the Fed DNC law passed, they simply integrated the existing Minnesota list into the fed list. <br><br>That is not to say I get no solicitation calls (voice spam?).  There's a loophole for any business that you have ever done business with... they have a "legitimate" business relationship with you, so they are allowed to solicit more business. Also, non-profits are allowed to tele-solicit... that's why we get calls for donations to the "policeman's ball". I've been chastised for not wanting to give half my paycheck to fight meth in rural Wisconsin (a noble cause for sure, but why oh why do we pay taxes?) <br><br>Love the boat horn idea!!  Of course, it only works if it's a real person talking to you and not a ()#@&%#@ computer interrupting your day. <br><br>Paul<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/30/07, <b class="gmail_sendername"> Joseph Garrett</b> <<a href="mailto:joegarrett@earthlink.net">joegarrett@earthlink.net</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div> <p> </p><div>I'd like to know if any of you have had any good experiences with the Federal "No Call List"???

When I get one of those calls and I determine that it is, in fact, some moron trying to dip into my pocket....I let em' have a two second blast!<G> Haven't had any of them idjits call again! hehe </div> <div>I hope Andy or??? let's this through.<G></div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>Joe Garrett, R.P.T.</div> <div>Captain of the Tool Police</div> <div>Squares R I</div> <div> </div> <p></p><p></p></div> </blockquote></div><br>
