Most companies I know of, including mine, don't want to chance it - too easy to make a mistake. There's an entire department of people whose job is to scrub the entire database against the DNC List every month and remove every number that hits. Right now, while it may not be foolproof, it will definitely reduce the volume. It is also my understanding that the FTC is revising the rules so that non-commercial faxes and email will also be covered. ----------------- Margery Golant Sent from my iPaq Pocket PC -----Original Message----- From: "Erynbrook@xxxxxxx"<Erynbrook@xxxxxxx> Sent: 3/19/05 2:15:20 PM To: "mgolant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx"<mgolant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, "CARALAND@xxxxxxx"<CARALAND@xxxxxxx>, "ELG440@xxxxxxx"<ELG440@xxxxxxx>, "showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx"<showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: My Fax Machine Runneth Over In a message dated 3/19/2005 11:38:45 AM Mountain Standard Time, mgolant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: > You can also put your fax # on the DO NOT CALL List.
