Got it. Here it is for all to see:

-----------------------------
As usual, your inability to read and understand causes you to make
mistatements and leads to erroneous conclusions.

You recall incorrectly.
-----------------------------

You are a class act Herring. End of story with you. No one can say I
didn't try. Back in the toilet you go.........right where you belong.

Does anyone else have internet phone service? If so, how do you like
it?
TIA!

Anyone who is considering Vonage, I have had Vonage for 8 months now.
If Ma Bell phone line was a 10, I would rate Vonage a 9.5 I have had to
reboot the modem a few times. (I think that is after I have downloaded
a large software file and is the result of comcast, not necessarily
Vonage). I have had one person tell me they have to connect is not
immediate when they pick up the phone. The sound quality is as good as
Bellsouth, the features offered are outstanding and the price is right.

I hate giving any company a monopoly, so I would give Vonage the
business as long as they were competitive in service and price. I like
one low price for all long distance and local, Vonage is a very good deal.

I haven't tried it, and I am pretty sure I will not. Our ISP is offering
it, but it loses our internet/cable connection several times a week,
sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for a couple of hours, for no
apparent reason. The connection usually goes out for hours during
electrical storms.

No internet/cable connection means no telephone connection if you have
internet phone service.

No thanks.

As both my wife and I have our own cell phones a loss of phone
connection on a landline is no problem.

But thanks for the feedback anyway.

We both have cellphones here, too, but...we live out in "ruralville,"
and cell phone coverage in our house is sketchy at best. If I go out on
the driveway, it is a bit better.

BUT...

If power is out, the cell towers might be out, too. The telco has big
backup generators. We've never lost telco service here in the boonies.

I am just tired of spending $65/month for a lousy phone service
(CenturyTel).

My Sunrocket service works great. I've canceled my Verizon service and use
only VOIP. Luckily, Cox has great cable service. We've had the cable go out
only once, for about five hours, during the storm a couple months back.
When we've not had the VOIP service, we've used the cell phones. The VOIP
service keeps any messages that come in while Cox is down, so we've not
missed any important calls.

I like the fact that I can pick up and voice message via web based
email. If you have a reliable cable system, and I rate Comcast as just
as reliable as Ma Bell, VOIP is a great alternative.

While Ma Bell has provided good service, they customer service has
always been that of a monopoly, reminds me of DMV.

Perhaps I should have said "NOW leave me alone" after my attempt to

The statement also referred to asking him once again to stop emailing

reason you removed that first paragraph of mine in your

I thought I was being helpful, both in my reply to your question about
Verizon and my suggustion not to ping JohnH. I really don't know what I
removed and what you added back and I am too lazy to go back and check.

You *still* haven't figured "Reggie" out? :)
Harry,
You peaked my interest and I went back to see what was said that I
deleted: it was : " I will make this perfectly clear one more time. Do
not email me. I
asked you not to do it twice before and you continue.

----------------------------

As I said, I gave JimH very good information about Verizon and I gave
him very good information about not pinging JohnH, I really don't see
how my comment can be considered in a negative manner no matter how his
post is edited. If JimH or anyone else took offense to my suggestion I
would like to offer my sincere apology, life is way to short to get
upset about little things.

I was not addressing your advice Reggie. If you recall, I thanked you
for that.

I was also not upset. I simply asked you a question of why you remove
a key paragraph from my post, taking subsequent remarks in that post
out of context.

Please do not make this molehill into a mountain Reggie nor try to turn
this around. I was quite clear in my comment and question to you.

I accept your apology.
