This reminded me of something that I blogged about a little while ago.

customer_servic.html

In short, if I were in direct marketing, I'd welcome Do Not Call  
registries, etc, since they'd save  me money by identifying the  
people I don't want to waste time on!

Out of 300 million Americans, to have 137M phone numbers cuts out  a  
lot of waste.
