Lines: 13 When I was in Florida in June there was a lot of discussion about a proposed law that would allow individuals to get a special mark next to their name in the phone book indicating that they did not want phone solicitations. Any company that called anyway would be liable for prosectution. The proposal was getting a lot of popular support but I don't know of its chances of passing or whether any other state was looking into this. I realize this doesn't help you solve your problem but, I thought it was interesting. jo pyuxo!joj
