Do Not Call

I got a telephone solicitation on my cell phone. It was one of those really annoying ones where you get the recording first, then if you're interested in their product you are supposed to press a number to talk to a real person. Well I pressed the number to very politely tell them that they had called me on my cell, which is on the do not call list and if they could please remove me from any follow-up dialers. Before I got the first four words out they hung up on me. That really pissed me off, so I wasn't feeling like being kind or polite any longer.
They had left their number on my caller ID. I promptly logged on to www.donotcall.gov and reported them. I felt much better after that, and I would like to encourage others as well. It is kind of a pain in the butt but if you do it they will pay. Calling numbers on that list will get them fined up to 11k for each call made to a prohibited number. Vengeance is mine!
