Wow, that's a generous offer.  I like the idea of a blacklist for
telemarketers.  It's bound to be more effective than an RBL for
spammers!  One thing to note: this may end up being a non-US database.
 Here in the US, I've experienced great success with the
www.donotcall.gov service.  If you're in the US and haven't signed up
for this service, I'd highly recommend it.  Of course, there may be
non-telemarketer calls that it would be nice to be able to block.
