No, "they" are not going to publicly release our cell phone numbers to telemarketers.

And yet, I still had to add my cell to the "Do Not Call" list because a few telemarketing companies wouldn't take "Stop calling, this is a cell phone" seriously.

My ex maw in law sends me every stupid piece of crap she gets. Usually, she gang mails about 20 things a day to about 100 people. At first, I ignored it. But now I go to Snopes, find the pertinent link and e-mail it to every person in the gang mailing. After about 6 months of this, not only has she stopped sending me every damn thing, but two other people are doing it as well.

If I see one more donkey killing a mt lion, or hear the story about the tard who played softball then dies, or get one more curse, ( send this to 10 people within 10 minutes or suffer horrible boils on your heiney for the rest of your life,) I'm going to slap her stupid the next time I see her. I don't care if she's in her early 70's!!!!

You go girl!!! some of things that are sent to me are just nice, and I like to share but I always make sure to remove the nasty send this to everyone you know part and just send the nice part.
Most of them I just delete. :)

Yup, I try to do that too. And snopes is wonderful for sorting out what actually has a germ of truth and what is pure nonsense.
