The following is stolen shamelessly from Ellie Rucker's column in the
April 22, 1984 Austin American Statesman:

Q.  I've got good news.  I found out about a new telephone service and it's
free.  You call 1-800-251-6320 and your name will be removed from telephone
sales and soliciting lists.  I did it and so did my friends and we've not
had any calls since except for local political calls.  It takes about two
weeks from the day you call.

[E. R. goes on to say that this only works on companies that are members of
the Direct Marketing Association, but most are.]
