2--Depending on the gullability of said employee, one may be easily tricked into doing stupid telemarketing.

I generally only get pissed at a telemarketer when they call and I'm expecting another call. I haven't stayed on the line with a telemarketer since the call in the previous thread I mentioned. I can generally tell when it's a telemarketer on the phone, and I hang up on them right away.
These are very good points. However, you can not sway my irrational hatred of telemarketers.

Hatred good -- it warms my soul on cold nights..

Wha? Ooo..shiny!    ::walks off distractedly::
