Many of them are.  The Austin American-Statesman is incapable of not
calling someone, even if you beg and plead with them to leave you alone.
They will send their little salesnuisance force out every month, followed
by the phonenuisance brigade calling you and begging you to subscribe.

My office mate asked them to stop calling.  He told them that he was
tired of them calling all the time.  Their offer was to call once a month
to make sure no one else from the Stateman had called.
