She must have been trying to talk up votes for Gray or the congresscritters. They ought to make bulk unsolicited electronic communications illegal, IMO.
Post #61,141 by jb4 11/5/02 9:32:33 AM Reply	Great idea, but... ...who you crappin'? Shit, our "justice" department is too busy "fighting terrorism", busting little old ladies for (legally) buying pot to help with their glaucoma, and handing billg(e) the keys to the kingdom to have the time to enforce even the current junk fax laws. How do you ever expect Ashhole to bother with "unsolicited electronic communications" laws (which are, in spite of my cynicism, a great idea.) Besides, such a law would be "bad for business". So how do you ever expect such a bill to get sponsored, much less passed? jb4 "About the use of language: it is impossible to sharpen a pencil with a blunt axe. It is equally vain to try to do it with ten blunt axes instead. " -- Edsger W.Dijkstra (1930 - 2002) (I wish more managers knew that...)

Perhaps your local newspaper might be interested. That's assuming that style of telemarketing is supposed to be illegal. Wade. "Ah. One of the difficult questions."

I fell in love with my manservant, who was
actually the disguised twin sister of the
man that my former love secretly married,
having mistaken him for my manservant who
was wooing her on my behalf whilst secretly
in love with me.
