A couple of weeks ago, I griped about how telemarketers and ripoff callers and spambots and robodialers have essentially cocked their snoots at the Do Not Call Registry, to the point where they can do whatever they want and call me whenever they like and nobody will or can do anything about it.ย Not Verizon,…
