I don't wish to contradict you, but we've been saying that exact phrase in
response to the four or five nightly telemarketers for about the last three
years, and there's been no dropoff. While I was in college I had a number
of friends who worked at a call center for a credit card company, and they
revealed that magic phrase to me at that time. Sadly, to no avail.
I'm eager to see how the website that I mentioned works out.
Thanks for the tip, though!
