Okay, gang, here's a suggestion:

Anytime a machine calls you, do a little legwork and find out the
NAME and PHONE NUMBER (preferably home phone -- often in the phone
book) of the President of the company who sponsored the call.
Post it to the net.  Then, everyone on the net should call this
number and complain.  (If each person calls once, it isn't
harassing -- after all, the machine called us!)  

If a lot of numbers start getting posted, just call the ones
near your home.

I volunteer to do this next time I get a junk call.  Anyone
else?  (Don't say yes or no -- just post a number sometime!)
