Ahhhhh.....the DO NOT CALL registry you ask??? Yes, it is still in force - BUT.....
There are a few loopholes that telemarketers are lately exploiting. First, they insist that they are NOT SELLING anything. They are offering you something FREE. BUT... Along with that "free" item comes a monthly expense. Other telemarketers are simply boldly violating the "do not call" registry. They apparently feel that a potential sale is worth the risk of fines. Also," robocalls" are illegal unless.....there is a way to talk to a real live person. And, when you DO talk to that real live person to tell them not to call again, you have established a contact that legally gives them (and their business "associates")permission to call you again....and again.....and again....

I have filed complaints with the FCC regarding telemarketers violating the "do not call" restrictions with little result. I did speak with a representative of the FCC and was told that they will not act on a single complaint. They wait until they have a significant number of complaints and begin enforcement with "cease and desist" warnings which will finally escalate to heavy fines. It takes a while to finally shut down the violators.

Now, having said all of that, I will say that I am not hostile or impolite to the caller. As previously stated by another poster, they are just people trying to make a living - and not an easy one at that. Most telemarking callers are people that have been unable to find other employment in the more conventional workforce for one reason or another. As such, they do not deserve to be treated rudely or abusively. Their employer, on the other hand, should be taken out and horsewhipped.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
