Comments:
I cannot believe that you are prepared to sell out all the people who signed up on the "do not call" list. Like most people on the list, I didn't sign up because it made an exception for any company I have ever done business with. I signed up anyway to get rid of the other calls. Defining a "relationship" with a company as ever having bought anything from them doesn't mean I want them to call me! Just because I buy clothing from JC Penney doesn't mean I want a machine to call me suposedly from them offering to sell me life insurance. Just because my local phone company is SBC doesn't mean I want to hear from them every time they come up with some new service. IF I WANT SOMETHING FROM A COMPANY, I WILL CALL THEM. I DON'T WANT YOU TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR COMPANIES TO HARASS ME IN MY OWN HOME. ALL COMPUTERIZED CALLS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!!!!!!! They are an unwarented intrusion on my privacy. The government should be more interested in the clearly expressed (by making the effort to sign onto the list) wishes of the people than it is in the profits of some giant telemarketing company. DON'T LOOSEN THE RULES. PLEASE
