regarding hte dnc lists - i hope that that is for 'selling' calls
only.
thre is a LOT of legitimate (no money involved) research that
requires a statistical random sampling given the universe of
available phn numbers.
at least if ithe dnc list is for 'sales' then the only pestering
calls will be from survey/research stuff - and i heartly recommmend that
those calls be received with grace .. adn answers ..

You cannot get a "statistical random sampling" (of what?, by the way) by
telephone, because of the biases from who usually answers the phone, from
who is at home a lot, from who will or will not cooperate, and from the
demographic distribution of phone numbers.
Also by the way - who do you consider "legitimate" telephone pollsters?

I certainly don't cooperate with telephone surveys anymore. At one
point in the late 80's I ended up on somebody's "list". Everytime they
had a survey, they would call me up. Statistically, I assume they were
figuring that by hitting the same subset each time, they could more
easily correct for bias. I cooperated with this for a while. Then I
got a "farmer jack's" survey. I'm sure this one was professionally
oriented, but all of the questions were very narrowly tailored, and
almost completely irrelevant for me, as I was doing most of my shopping
at PFC at the time. I got annoyed at the assumptions that were being
made, and refused to cooperate with any more surveys.

I tend to see surveys as a way to push my agenda. That, or question the
surveyor on minutae of the questions and why they don't have an option which
I consider optimimum. ;)

I often cooperate with political surveys, but no other ones. I think I
did hang up on one that was obviously a "push poll" once.

How can answering a survey "push" your agenda, Scott? Although they
probably have a personal opinion, the surveyors can't do anything about
your minutia. If they are personally involved they might enjoy discussing
it with you, but then they are just filling out a form.

I just received my first spam at my regular e-mail address, something
about expanding a part of my male anatomy. The thing is the only one I
gave that address to lately was the "do not call" websight. Hmm...

I have a student with Cisco certification, CAEN (and multiple other) network
experience, and a strong Unix background. Can anyone help me hook him up with
some work (part or full time)?
Email me here if you have any suggestions.

I called SBC for the 13th or 14th time to report that I was still getting 'Let
repeat dialing.....'. The guy I got said he was a supervisor and he would
put some big guns on the project. The last person had the theory that people
had cancelled repeat dialing but not the announcement, so she cancelled the
announcement. This time they will look into programming errors, which was
the problem with the commercial after 8 rings. While working on this task
he tried to sell me a cell phone.
