All those %#$$! telephone solicitors are working overtime it seems. I've 
been getting a LOT more calls than I usually do. It's like they're all 
making a last ditch effort to get you before the "do not call" list 
shuts them down.

I wouldn't mind so much if they were at least halfway honest. The last 
one I answered wanted to speak to my wife but when I asked who's calling 
(and I could here a room full of solicitors in the background) the guy 
said "This is just a courtesy call." Courtesy call my ass - I hung up on 
him. The worst is AOL calling up and telling me I recently tried to sign 
up for AOL but for some reason it didn't go through ...so he wanted to 
give me special deal.... Yeah, right.

If you haven't signed up for the National Do Not Call Registry, do it 
now. When the list goes into effect it will only get worse for those not 
on the list.
