| 1. Write Me |
The Please WRITE to me, let me know of your campaign state or area or numbers you are working on.
- Send me a copy of your charts as you go along, and… how it is going – so I can remove the number from the list at the end :)
|
| 2. Go to the BAD NUMBER LIST |
Pick one number at a time to eradicate from the internet.
- Please pick the more obvious out-of-service numbers
- Some numbers I have removed are in a gray area and I just don’t want to list them on my site for suicidal callers.
- Let’s save those for later :)
|
| 3. COPY AND PASTE the Bad Number into Google or other internet search engine. |
This search will show you how many sites still list the old bad number
- Read the search info carefully, often just part of the number comes up etc.
- There will be many duplicate listings.
- These days it might not matter as much how the number is entered for example: (888) 555-9999 or 888-555-9999 or 8885559999 but it could make a difference.
- If you should find a number that should not be on the bad number list - be sure to let me know !!

Dig into the links and fill out your form – maybe as you go along.
- Contact Forms – You must keep a record of these also. You can copy what you write in the comment boxes and put the info in the chart.

Why Hotlines Need Updating |
6. Please always be kind, understanding, and courteous !!! - No matter how many emails it takes.
We might never know what has happened to some of these webmasters. We must understand this and never become angry or judgemental <3 |
- People start sites with great intentions that they sometimes can’t finish or keep up with –
- life happens, loved ones die – grief takes over
- people run out of money and time to give
- people get depressed, people get sick, people die.
- Just like with the hotlines – no one before has been able to keep it up. I am working on it now but I have 30- 40 states to go !
- If you have one who never responds, let me know. Maybe we can find another way to reach them :)
|
| 7. Please don’t send emails to the same person too often, maybe every few months – whatever you have time for :) |
8. If you run into ANY problems, please write me !! |
