Update

Hi, Roadie and thanks for the valuable info. The last one was kind enough to give me a little info on the source of their list.
"I was told that the list I was calling from was of a group of people who had attended a generic network marketing training of some kind. Since your name was on that list, you maybe either attended that function or inquired about it, and your name got put on this list on your request to get information about opportunities. It could have been over a year ago. Unfortunately, I was also told that names cannot be removed.
This is not the source of the list, but Tracy Biller is one of the people who finds these lists so he might be able to help you out.

Ah yes. Once a network marketer, always a network marketer. Just the wrong opportunity. I know of one guy who, at last count, had failed at 13 but this one's different.

Gotta love the DMA. They are also responsible for a lot of problems with Can-Spam that affect legitimate e-mail marketers.

It probably is published. I use this number for my print advertising but no directories that I know of, but who knows.I do opt in to stuff but very few business opportunities.

How do I get this info to you? If you prefer not to publish it here, you can send it to my throwaway address:blackstonecap AT Yahoo.
Do you want the viagra, love match,and porn,too?

Can-Spam is worthless. DMA will influence this to the detriment to legitimate marketers.

Your credibility is not an issue with me. I have seen you on here since I started frequenting FIB.
