Comments:

Please do not allow telemarketers to call and leave messages. I have a small, relatively new business and cannot afford a fancy telephone system. I need my (limited capacity) answering machine to be available when potential clients call -- not clogged with telemarketing calls. Telemarketers should not be allowed to consume other people's scarce resources at no cost. If they want to leave messages on someone's answering equipment, they should have to purchase that right. Otherwise, they need to be told "NO!" Thanks for listening -- Sue Pearlman
