Heh, appreciate the humor. It certainly won't make it work worse. My point if you will, is that requirements are more complex than what's stated. The reason we won't get them fulfilled—simple or complex—is because there is no incentive for the bad guys to follow the rules. IIRC, there is (was?) a "National Do Not Call List" implemented in the US at the federal level. Telemarketers and other organizations are required by law to scrub their own lists against this federal registry. This has not made a dent in the amount of spam calls that I get on my various lines. The response / recommendation to establish this new registry, IMO, is simply a way to admit defeat with some grace.
