Message-ID: <11934@accuvax.nwu.edu> Date: 9 Sep 90 16:36:24 GMT Sender: news@accuvax.nwu.edu Reply-To: Clif Flynt Organization: Chaos and Confusion, Entropy Division Lines: 23 Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 10, Issue 633, Message 3 of 12 My solution to TeleSolicitors for a few years has been to explain gently that I *NEVER* donate *ANY* money to a group that phone solicits me. If they are a group I used to donate money to (like my Alumni group) they get knocked off the list. I encourage the solicitor to relay this information up to the supervisor. I figure that if more people follow this practice, then the loss of revenue will begin to exceed the gains, and this practice will cease. In the meantime, I find that I'm saving more money every year as more groups become ineligible for continued funding.
