Saw this on the news a few days ago and forgot to post it:

Phone Numbers to Drop Off 'Do Not Call' List

'Do Not Call' Registry

You probably thought putting your phone number on the “do not call” list would put an end to the telemarketer's sales pitch.

But that peace and quiet will soon come to an end for millions of people.

In June, that peace may be disturbed.

That is when the five-year window expires for those who registered for the national "do not call" registry in 2003.

For the millions of people who signed onto the list in its early days, their numbers will automatically drop-off beginning next June if they do not register again.

Also remember that by doing business with a company (including sweepstakes) you authorize them to contact you. I'm not sure what the time limit is but they are not breaking the law by calling you after you've done business with them even if you are on the Do Not Call list.

The government has decided to not let the do not call list expire so if you are already on the list you do not need to call again. 

for once, common sense came to the rescue!
