Can? yes. Should? that's up to you. Several people here have 
reported that their frequency of junk calls has declined since 
putting themselves on the list. Mine was already near zero since New 
York State's list went into effect, but I added myself to the 
national list because I don't know of any down side.

Do be aware that if you add yourself to the list, it won't take 
effect immediately. The donotcall.gov site should explain the 
schedule, but IIRC it would be the end of January if you add 
yourself now.
