You may remember that Dave Barry published the phone number for the American Teleservices Association (ATA), a number that then got so many calls by people that the ATA ended up disconnecting the number because of the inconvenience of handling all those calls. Well, Dave is back with a new phone number. He writes:
I realize that this makes many of you angry. I realize that many of you would like to, once again, let the telemarketers know how you feel. And I am, frankly, tempted to reveal to you here that the American Teleservices Association (www.ataconnect.org/) seems to have a phone line working (at least for now) at 317-816-9336.
But would it be right to reveal this? I mean, yes, you could call the ATA again. But the ATA surely doesn't WANT you to call again. It's inconvenient! And to insist on calling somebody who doesnt want to be called, even if you have the legal right to call, well, that's just plain rude.

It would just be a shame if the telemarketers had to deal with inconvienient phone calls.
