Oregon is soon to pass a law where a subscriber can have a symbol
placed by their name in phone books indicating that they do not want
any telemarketers/solicitors calling.  If telemarketers do call the
particular residence anyway (whether it's a mistake or not) the could
be fined heavily (up to $25,000).  Needless to say this will kill the
computerized random calling technique in Oregon.
