Default OT Again (Sorry!) The Do Not Call List

Allegedly. But you can't take a pre-recorded auto-dialed call off your
list until you play their game. You have to listen to the entire thing
then press 1 to get to a representative. Said person most likely
doesn't have the authority to remove you from any list. They'll likely
say sure, but by speaking to them you've just validated your number.
Lots of these companies probably originate outside the US and don't care
about the Do Not Call Registry. I'd rather not play that game.
