Others can get themselves put out of business by the FTC if they violate it. If you are getting enough calls that you'd hassle yourself and your friends by setting up a software attendant, you need to get the caller's personal and organizational name, tell them (A) to never call you again, and (B) that you're reporting their call to the FTC -- and then do it: FTC.Gov, methinks. You'll do yourself AND your neighbors a big favor, and clear the phone lines of those who have no regard for your privacy and the law.
