[ale] OT: Do Not Call list

[danlambert at bellsouth.net]

A large number of us work in customer support or other areas where we never know who is going to call, so we don't have that option. It's pretty much one of those things where if the phone rings, you answer it.

I don't need to waste my time (much less the minutes) dealing with some telmarketing boob.
