When I get a phone call, I look at the caller ID. If it is not someone I know, I let the machine get it.

I am on the Do Not Call list. It works very well. Lets the "surveys" and "charities" through, though, but since I do not know who the call is from, I let the machine get it.

As annoying as the telemarketers are, please remember they are doing this menial job because they need the work. Blowing a whistle in their ear is terrible. Would you want someone to do that to your son or daughter who is trying to earn some money?

Use your Caller ID, folks. That is why you have it. Get on the Do Not Call list. It will help a great deal.
