Comments:
I hear someone is thinking about modifying the Do Not Call list in order to make it less effective. Whose side is the FTC on? The whole point of the list was to specifically provide those of us who do NOT want telemarketers to call us to make sure they DON'T. Simply allowing them to call with pre-recorded messages still allows them to call your phone at any hour of the day, still forcing you to answer a ringing phone, still forcing you to waste a single iota of breath on something which you will never listen to, never purchase and never stop being irritated by. It sounds to me, and many others, that the FTC made a brilliant move one day and now they are looking to backtrack that brilliant move and dumb it down. The FTC is one of the few government agencies that generally seems to make mostly wise moves with few stupid ones, so don't start going back and changing the good ones now. Sincerely, Randy Parsons
