Annoying Calls

I answered my telephone a few minutes ago to hear a cheery voice
asking me on behalf of "XYZ Research Group" for my opinion on such-
and-such, another in an almost daily series of calls from various
pollster organizations. I answered with my standard "I'm not
interested in giving my opinion!" and hang up. Obviously from the
fact I blog that statement is an out and out lie.

First of all, yes, I'm already on the no-call list. Apparently
political calls and opinion polls (whatever their TRUE purpose may
be) are not considered sales or these callers are flouting the law.
Perhaps I should push the button and talk to their representative, or
take the poll and turn in the annoying source to some authority, but
I prefer to terminate the call ASAP. The sound of a recorded voice
immediately brings up a Pavlovian hang-up-the-receiver twitch in my
arm anyway.

I'm thinking that the next opinion request might prompt me to offer
my services as a consultant. "Can I email you my fee schedule?" seems
an appropriate response. Since I'm retired my charges will be
reasonable. How does $100 per quarter hour question/answer segment
within normal business days, time and a half for evening and weekends
sound?
