[NCLUG] unsubscribing broken addresses

[Charles Clarke]

If you keep good records, you can sue them for $500 if they
call you within 12 months after you tell them to put your name
on their Do Not Call list.  I get the person's name, supervisor,
company(incl. telemarketing firm name) and phone #.  I've
actually only had one company that I got another call from in those
12 months.  I got the money and am now also hosting their web site! :-)
