FWIW, Spam is *not* UCE/UBE [unsolicitied commercial e-mail/unsolicited bulk e-mail]. Why the 800# instead of the "remove" list? Different source of income for the UCErs. When you reply to a "remove" address, your verified e-dress can then be sold at a much higher price to other/potential UBErs than can unconfirmed e-dresses. When you call an 800#, your phone number is automatically listed on their phone bill. Not every business person is stupid enough to believe the lies about "internet mailings" and some know such activity can get them kicked off their ISP. But AFAIK it is not illegal to do telemarketing anywhere in these united states of confusion ... Thus an 800# "remove list" can be sold as valid telephone numbers for those cretins who always call when you're sleeping in or in the middle of dinner.
