Comments:
I believe the thought of allowing anyone to leave a pre-recorded on a voicemail, or answering machine is plain stupid And anyone supporting this perversion is in the back pocket of the telemarketing industry. It is bad enough that we have to use caller id, call blocking, donotcall lists, and devices that ward of telemarketers. To allow anyone to leave automated/pre-recorded messages is an afront, you are not allowing the called part y the opportunity to say "NO", "NOT INTERESTED", or to "HANG-UP" on the calling party. What you are purporting is tantamount to extortion by record message. Patrick
