Tired of explaining to yet another telemarketer that you don't, in fact, own a pool? Or that you aren't interested in donating to their cause? Or that you have already switched phone companies more times than you can remember and the only change you noticed was an increase in the number of these calls you have received? You can put an end to all that by adding your name and number to the new DO NOT CALL list. You can find basic information here and a state-by-state list here. Of course, there are limitations to this wonderful new tool. "Political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors, and the business of insurance, to the extent that it is regulated by state law, are permitted to call you." Fortunately, "you can still prohibit individual telemarketers from calling, one by one, by asking them to put you on their company's do not call list."

So what are you waiting for??? Go! Now! Enjoy!
