Sorry for the way off-topic message, but I thought many of you would be interested to know that the national Do Not Call list run by the U.S. Government starts up today. If you go to www.donotcall.gov and register your phone number, most telemarketers will stop calling you. (I think some, like charities, still can.) The site is a little slow, since today is the first day and I imagine they are getting a lot of traffic.

If you hate telemarketes as much as I do, you should sign up today before you forget.

I hope some of you find this off-topic message helpful.
