No, the dangling comma. Granted though, the lack of capitalisation is insulting to the reader.

If you bother to read the small print the do not call list does not apply to newspapers and organisations you have a preexisting relationship with...

Loathing Rosie DiManno's Burchill knock off column over the course of years does not constitute a preexisting relationship.

Perhaps not, but as far as the gov is concerned, the Sun is still a newspaper, so the DNC list doesnt apply to its telimarketing....a serious flaw in the list if you ask me.

But where's the pre-existing relationship? I don't think I've ever bought a copy.
Organisations you have a preexisting relationship with are ALSO exempt. ALSO charitable organsations. Does being on the List prevent all unsolicited calls? Being on the National DNCL keeps you from receiving most telemarketing calls, but there are exceptions. Registered charities are still allowed to call for donations, and certain other organizations-such as companies conducting polls or surveys, political parties, and newspapers looking for subscriptions-can also continue to contact you. As well, if you’ve done business with a company in the last 18 months, that company is considered to have a relationship with you and is allowed to call. |

You misunderstand. Newspapers require no pre existing relationship...they are exempt from the DNC list.

I've had that annoying call about 'your final warning on your factory authorized warranty' or some such thing. Not sure which is more annoying, thaat or the 'this is your captain speaking'.

The salesman said that they usually try "to catch vehicles more quickly after they fall out of warranty" but he said he would speak to his manager to see what could be arranged. The manager came on the line and, after some blather, said that they'd make an exception and provide a warranty for $580/year. The $580 could be paid right then by credit card and I'd be immediately protected.
