It was the newspaper Le Temps, who was harassing me…

It deserved just a tweet, but 140 characters, it still wasn't enough…

For weeks, with a regularity that is worthy of a Swiss cuckoo, phone number 0581000871 calls me, everyday, at different times. Of course, this issue stinks telemarketing, and I did not answer. Because – my number is listed with "asterisk" in the directory. Which means that I do not wish to receive such calls. I am those who find intrusive this kind of canvassing.

This morning, let's get crazy, I answered: it was canvassing for the newspaper Le Temps. So, if: even a serious newspaper does not account for the asterisk. To his credit, the current law allows telephone canvassing even when the owner of a phone number is registered to have "asterisk". It is on a page of the FRC:

Attention however, the asterisk is that if the person has not itself given his agreement to be called, which is the case very often when she is already a customer with the appellant or participate in a contest. The terms and conditions mention indeed most of the time that the contest participant agrees to be contacted for purposes of advertising. As soon as you provide your address in a competition, this gesture is interpreted as if you again want to receive advertising.

Yes, so I definitely had to exist in another file that allows them to harass me. The law is poorly made.

So, the nice man of the time (or mandated by) explain, poli is sure of him, that I had to answer on the first day because – that otherwise, "Computer system" (ahhhh this bloody computer Almighty, anyway…) try again once a day ad eternum. No Sir, this response is not satisfactory.

So dear time: you seemed credible and quality. But this kind of canvassing aggressive and intrusive discredits you and done wrong in your image.

It is balaud, anyway…

And for laughs: say, time, maybe you should read the articles you publish?
