Comments:

I do not want ANY calls from any telemarketer or automated system, and if there is a Do Not Call registry that I can sign up on, then I would expect to not receive ANY calls from any telemarketer or automated system. If someone has taken the time to sign up on the Do Not Call Registry, he or she doesn't want a solicitation call, period. Common sense should tell anybody that if a telemarketing company, whether it be a live person or recording, calls somebody who doesn't want a call, it's highly unlikely that a sale is going to be made, or that there will be any future interest in the company because they violated the person's request. So why would this company waste the time and resources? I would think that telemarketing companies would be grateful for the filtering out of people who are not interested so that they could save on operating expenses.
