Dave- when will they start a DO NOT E-MAIL registry??
I registered my home phone and fax successfully (they send a verification
email to you, you have to click on a link to verify) but never got an email
back on the third number I added--my cell phone. Glitch?

Anti-Telemarketing List Opens for Registration
       

By Andy Sullivan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Households frazzled by unwanted telephone sales calls
could soon be enjoying the sounds of silence, thanks to a popular
anti-telemarketing list that opens for registration on Friday.
Federal officials said consumers are now able to place their home and mobile
telephone numbers on a free, national "do not call list" of households that
do not want to receive telephone sales calls, by logging on to
(http://donotcall.gov) or calling 1-888-382-1222.
Telemarketers who call numbers on the list after Oct. 1 will face penalties
of up to $11,000 per call, as well as possible lawsuits from consumers and
state attorneys general.
