My landline has been registered for over a month now.
99.99% effective.

I have received a few calls from charities (allowed) and one
from a local estate agent cold calling for attendance at an
auction (not allowed).

Interestingly, the person spruiking for the realtor played
dumb when I mentioned that I am on the Do Not Call register.
Then she mumbled something about it not being active
for a month yet ... so she did know all about it.

I registered a complaint with the DNC. After a couple of weeks
they replied that no action would be taken since it is early
days, but the offender will be contacted and notified about
their infringement. Hopefully the offender will then be sent
to the gulag for re-education ;)

I am a bit leery of this relationship thing. Hopefully I can
severe any perceived relationships (i.e. those one-sided marketing
relationships you don't want to be part of) with the simple
utterance  "I divorce thee, I divorce thee, I divorce thee!"
