Back in 1984, this was posted to usenet...

April 24, 1984  The Austin American Statesman   (they deserve credit)

		    CALL KEEPS SOLICITORS OUT

A call to 1-800-251-6320 will get your name removed from telephone
sales and soliciting lists of all members of the Direct Marketing
Association.  You get "Customer Service" of "Allan Mills Photography"
on the phone, as those folks seem to have contracted to provide this
service for DMA.  They take your name, number, and address, but I forgot
to ask if that will also take you  off junk-mailing-lists, a reasonable
assumption as you can write to DMA to request this.


I called and it really worked, I get lots fewer calls now.
