Subject: RE: BS: Canadian 'Do Not Call' list
Well, G... it's a start.

What I would like to see next is the feds impose a requirement for the telemarketers to provide a valid caller ID (call display) and toll free number that they have to pay per call long distance charges on so that people can call them back and cost them money. That would allow people to fight back against the intrusion if they desired.... level the playing field, so to speak.

I had a computerized call at 22:25h a couple of nights ago. Cost me some valuable sleep.
