Dear Sirs, Of all the sales calls I wish to avoid, the "prerecorded message" calls are the worst. If there is a human being at the other end of the phone line, I can, at least, find out who is calling and fairly easily have them put me on their "do not call" lists. With a prerecorded message, this is not possible. If there is some kind of "opt out" option in the message, you know they will put it at the very end -- forcing those who don't want such calls to listen to the whole damn thing. This is an unacceptable modification to the "do not call" list. I SPECIFICALLY signed up to halt such abuse of my phone line. I do not EVER want to receive ANY "prerecorded message". I have no interest in dealing with any companies who can't put another human being at the other end of the phone line when they wish to talk to me. Thanks.
