[ducking > and running before Annewitch throws something at me...] Uh huh - 'communicative challenged', indeed!!! (HA HA) (No wonder I couldn't find YOU!!! You were ducking TOOOOO much! And...Stu, what's this about a WITCH? (smirk)) I have to agree with you on the fact that no matter what terms are used, no one is ever going to be happy with any particular one, however, if there are going to be some used, you know how I feel on the subject matter. With the relay services cropping up all over the country, I think people are becoming more aware of it's usage and purpose - especially since the number of ours in Oklahoma is published in the Customer's Guide of the phone directory and tells what it is for. I'd just like to see more professionalism used by the services, especially the one in Oklahoma. They had it to begin with but seem to have lost it somewhere down the line... Okay, Stu - I'm off my soap box for awhile (I think!). -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!385!14.0!Ann.Stalnaker Internet: Ann.Stalnaker@p0.f14.n385.z1.fidonet.org
