Re: hrmm... chilly finger?

I have the Vonage partial 911 solution active and told my wife about it when I did it. I also told her that she was better using our other line or a cellphone to call 911. We did not have any disaster or problem, but when I reminded her of this the other day she flat out denied being told.

I think that many spouses often hear any technical discussion as white noise and we get "yes deared." Without any issues of who is right, I think that the VOIP users out there might want to take five minutes and brief their families on this point.

At the same time, I don't think Vonage should be held accountable for anything. With respect to the mother, any time you lose a child it is real tough. It is easy to lash out. I just hope her lawyer loses.

See, I needed a comment like that to bring me back out of this rage that I seem to be developing for people who claim to be too stupid to use Vonage. Since they are too stupid, then Vonage of course, must be shut down.

Its easier to blame someone else than yourself. Who is to say the child would have lived even if a POTS/911 call had been placed, too? Also, it was the parents fault for buying into VoIP as I do not remember seeing Vonage Squads going door-to-door threatening people's lives if they stayed with POTS.

I bet she killed the child!
