credit offers, direct marketing mail and tele-marketer calls.  Some  
submissions must be made every five years to be valid.

The fears of the direct marketing industry came true. Once a do-not- 
call list was created, people did register, in droves.

The list was created in 2003, not as a way to protect privacy, but to  
remove a powerful irritant from the lives of Americans. The Federal  
Trade Commission, which administers the list, says that more than 137  
million phone numbers have been placed on the list by people tired of  
interruptions during dinner or their favorite TV show.
