Wow! Where can you just say you don't want telemarketing calls and
you don't get them??!! Sounds wonderful! Automated telemarketing
calls are illegal in Arkansas--you still get them sometimes. My
personal solution (since we estimate that some 90%--yes, 90%--of
our calls at home are either telephone solicitors or wrong numbers):
the wonderful answering machine. We're listed in the book, all
right, but we don't answer the phone until it comes through the
machine. Sounds hard-hearted, but years of experience (when we've
relented and actually answered the cursed thing) have proved us
right.
