Re: What's the use. said by burgerwars:E-Mail spammers continue to spam, even though there's a law against that. The law only applies to US people/companies, so it was kind of a worthless law considering the origins of a lot of spam.said by burgerwars:Telemarketers call, either live or with automated dialers, even though there's a law (Do Not Call list) against that. Before I went cellphone-only, I noticed a significant drop in telemarketing calls after registering in the Do Not Call registry. The same thing with junk mailings when I registered in the DMA's registry.said by burgerwars:Does anyone really think this will make a difference? I doubt it. It won't eliminate the practice, but I do believe it will minimize it. |

| To bad this doesn't apply to companies who only provide "Toll Free Call" as the name in Caller ID. I would consider that an attempt to deceive, otherwise they would say who they are. |

Almost all of them are annoying as hell since they never leave a voice-mail and just continue to call until you answer and tell them to f' off. |
