Cable Forum isn't anywhere near an accurate representation of "everyone", and I've not said I like having cold callers - you're just being defensive now. I'm just asking whether you have any facts to back up your claim or it merely fits in with your opinion.
As a point of interest in a previous job I used to "cold call" people by phone a good few years back but not in the way you'd think. It was social research by the government which is something that nobody is permitted to opt-out from (even ex-directory or TPS-registered people) but are allowed to not participate in once we told them what it was about. I can't produce figures from back then but of all the calls I made I'd estimate a good 90% or more gave no indication of disliking us, hostility, disapproval, aggressiveness etc.

That's exactly what I do, I also have a sticker on my door saying "No junk mail, flyers or menus".
