Comments:

There is now way that I want people, let alone what amounts to tape recorders calling me to sell me things--either on my cell or at home. Absolutely not. A transcation with a company does not constitute a relationship. It is a transaction with a beginning and and end. For example, jJust because I buy a hot dog from a hot dog stand, this does not give the vendor the right to follow me to my house and yell at my window--want more hot dogs? want buns? need ketchup? And on my cell it could wind up COSTING ME MONEY--and creating unwarranted earnings for telecoms. If you create this loophole, telemarketers will find a way to make it bigger and bigger, and more and more companies will focus their efforts on finding a way through it. Please do not do this! I needed something; I found a company who sells that thing. I don't need any help finding them if I again want what they have sometime in the future. If I want a hot dog, I'll go find a vendor.
