[BC] Do not call list

[Tom Bosscher]

You also have to be careful at work. I get all the soliciting calls for 
long distance, and they of course, pressure you to sign up now. Then, 
when you say no, they ask if they can fax or email you the information. 
Just say NO! If you give them your fax or email address, you have just 
established a business relationship, and they can now bother you legally 
for a long time. What stops them cold is when you insist that the only 
way they can get the information to you is to mail it to you. Now, this 
costs them money, any misrepresentation is now mail fraud. But they want 
that fax number and your email. They have gotten very frustrated with me 
when I insist that the only way I'll even look at their information is 
if they mail it. Our office manager and our receptionists now do the same..
    Very effective.

    Now, when they call me at home......  I figure it this way. They 
made a business decision to bother me at home, using the phone that I 
pay for. So I made a decision that if they call me, I will have 
entertainment, using them, at their expense. I have used several time 
consuming techniques, so much so that the two morning show have in the 
past described them on the air. So I figure I'm helping out my fellow 
humans here on earth.
