I was fascinated by the latest comment added to my post about phone spam. This is by a large margin the most commented-on thing on my site, though it's not really a big fascination of mine. It's one of these posts that has taken on a life of its own. Here's how it starts...

your gonna h8 me but I work for a marketing company, phoning you guys up and trying to pester you in to buying my useless insurance crap.

I Soooooooooo agree with you guys that this kind of marketing is annoying, intrusive and should be abolished. The sad fact is that i need to make a living and i happen to be quite good at it. The way I justify it to myself is by saying that every person i phone up and irritate is one more person that agrees with me and hates big corperations and telemarketing companies.
