I have been monitoring all the comments about Fax Advertising.  I am a person 
who does Fax Advertising.  Why?  To make a living.  I called the FCC to get 
the rules on fax advertising and either I did not understand them or their is 
some basic misunderstandings on penalties for violation there of.  The 
receiver of the fax has to notify the sender who has to have his name and 
telephone number on the fax that he no longer wants to receive the fax.  The 
sender is then required by the FCC to keep a log of those people requesting 
not to be faxed to.  If the sender violates that FCC rule, the receiver of 
the unwanted fax came sue for his damages.  Not $500 dollars.  The $500 is a 
penalty levied by the FCC as I understand it.  I have never sent a fax to 
anyone who has requested that I not do so.  I was doing this before the FCC 
ruling.  I did not want to cause any ill will that could cause my faxing 
client any ill will.  I, also have never paid for a fax number or bought a 
data base on CD or what ever.  Every number that I have in my data base was 
given to me by the business.  If a fax number is listed in the Yellow Pages, 
it is, in my opinion, okay to fax to that number until tolf not to do so.  
Fax advertising is a business with a limited life.  People who hate fax 
advertising so much should buy a computer.  That will give the ability to 
stop the expense of fax paper and never miss a fax again because the machine 
was out of paper.  Chill out and let people make a legitimate living.
