we have found
The Do Not Call list quite effective. It has reduced our
nuisance calls about 90%.
And we have had some nasty police solicitations too..One, a woman, was the most aggressive thing I've ever encountered.
I hung up on HER!
We screen our calls now. Have caller ID and if we miss
getting to the phone before the recorder takes over, our friends know to leave a message.
Right now the worst offenders are the political parties. During the primaries it was pretty bad.
One thing I do sometimes if I am peeved enough is to
answer the phone, and when I see it is a solicitation, I
set the phone down on the counter and walk away. That way THEY end up paying more for the call, and it ties THEM up reduces their output.
But in general, the calls are much less. I will be glad when the election is over.
