will not this just be a safe source of working numbers for all those covered by exceptions?

Q: If I register my number on the National Do Not Call Registry, will it stop all telemarketing calls?
long-distance phone companies
airlines
banks and credit unions; and
the business of insurance, to the extent that it is regulated by state law.
However, many telemarketing calls are placed by professional telemarketing companies, and even if the company whose goods or services are being sold is exempt, the telemarketing company may be covered.
You may still receive calls from political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors or companies with which you have an existing business relationship.
The FCC has initiated a rulemaking proceeding that would extend the National Do Not Call Registry to many of the businesses that are exempt from FTC coverage.

All the above text has now disappeared from their site !
this is looking kind of off topic, but...
most of those extemptions existed because the industries in question were
being regulated by a different commission.
said commission had the authority to buy into the do not call list. they
have done so, and so the extemptions have mostly gone away. i think
politicians can still pester you for money at dinner time, though.

Thus spake "Tomas Daniska" <tomas@tronet.com>
A: No. Placing your number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop
most, but not all, telemarketing calls. Some businesses are exempt from the
national registry and still can call you even if you place your number on
it. Exempt businesses include:
long-distance phone companies
airlines
banks and credit unions; and
the business of insurance, to the extent that it is regulated by state
law.
... political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors or ...
Nearly every call I get today is by companies on the 'exempt' list, go
figure.

Has anyone noticed that Netsol has fubared the creation dates for domains?
I registered my first domain (cet.net) in May 1995, now it shows 2002. All
of my domains are affected.

It has been going on for a while. Trust whois.crsnic.net dates not the
ones displayed in registrar whois.
Domain Name: CET.NET
Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, INC.
Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
Referral URL: http://www.networksolutions.com
Name Server: NS1.CET.NET
Name Server: NS2.TXIC.NET
Status: ACTIVE
Updated Date: 13-may-2003
Creation Date: 30-may-1995
Expiration Date: 29-may-2004
Looks fine to me.

I see a similar issue, although not on all domains. A number that
I know where registered between 1992 and 1997 now all have creation
dates in 2002. It is disturbing, to say the least.
