Wow, that's a generous offer. I like the idea of a blacklist for<br>
telemarketers. It's bound to be more effective than an RBL for <br>
spammers! One thing to note: this may end up being a non-US
database.<br>
Here in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>,
I've experienced great success with the<br>
<a href="http://www.donotcall.gov">www.donotcall.gov</a> service. If
you're in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>
and haven't signed up <br>
for this service, I'd highly recommend it. Of course, there may be<br>
non-telemarketer calls that it would be nice to be able to block.<br>
<br>
