Good discoveries and bad

Wow.

The bad news is, apparently folks like the San Jose Mercury News either don't pay attention to the national Do Not Call list or just haven't got an updated copy of same.

The good news is, the words "We're on the Do Not Call list" are like magic. No arguments, no complaints, they just say goodbye and hang up. Makes me wonder if just saying that would work equally well even if it weren't true.

Actually, newspapers and political campaigns are specifically excluded, at least from the last version of the law that I remember reading. So yeah, SJMN will keep calling you.

But now at least I have a surefire way to get rid of them. I'll take that.
