Re: hrmm... chilly finger?

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!

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.
