[BC] avoiding the marketers

[Tom]

Bob:

Move to Indiana - or at least get a phone that has an Indiana area 
code.  Indiana's DoNotCall List is backed by the strictest law on the 
books anywhere... just this past week, the High Court upheld it, in 
fact.  Telemarketers call Indiana at their peril.  MAJOR fines!  Jail 
time, even.  MUCH stricter than the Federal list, even.  And NO need to 
be on both; that was ALSO in the Ruling.

hanging up won't help, either - complaint to the Consumer Affairs office 
yields subpoenas to telecom provider(s) to cough up originator 
forthwith.  Which they do; lest THEY get hit with massive fines.  I have 
a cell phone, but my mother doesn't; she was getting literally dozens of 
calls a day until I put her phone on The List.  Now... Zipnada.

(I did have a wireline number - used it for backup internet and fax 
line.  And chuckle every time it rang; knowing someone was getting an 
earful of digital....Only folks who knew to call that number also knew 
to use a fax machine or computer to call it.)
