Not that this has a whole lot to do with telecommunications, but where does this pinhead get off making such rediculous assertions and advertising his company in this newsgroup? Yes, I know, it happens all the time, but in the spirit of Usenet, I think he deserves a good flame. I'm very excited that you are so pleased with and enthusiastic about the quality of your chosen LD carrier. Your description of the reaction this quality provokes in the people you call is fascinating. However, even with what little of yourself you reveal in your posting, I might suggest that they are actually saying "Oh no! You're not in town, are you???" It's unfortunate that your conversations don't sound like they're as riveting as your account of them. I can see it now. "Listen now, I'm going to drop that pin again. Tell me if you hear it." "Let's just sit here in silence and enjoy the clarity of the connection." Personalty issues aside, I think your remarks implying "Our network is better than yours! Nyah Nyah!" were gratuitous nonsense and completely uncalled for. This is supposed to be a technical forum, not a place for vendors to reiterate their advertising campaigns. Please refrain from this in the future. Gregg Siegfried This is Saturday. No disclaimers necessary. ;-) [Moderator's Note: See last message in the digest today. PT]
