I saw your other post defining relay before I saw this one, so I want to be generic and post a thank you here for the other post. I know some people just don't get it (even after having it explained to them 100902433948509435320847 times). Secondly, I went to the link you provided, I read thru all of that crap and I was pissed. I know I am slightly hormonal right now, and possibly a little biased based on my experience with relay, but I can't believe how...I can't even think of a word here...how easily those people brushed off the entire service. I remember feeling the frustration when someone hung up just because it was a relay call. And I don't know that I actually became angry, but certainly disgusted when, after explaining to the caller over and over again how they can speak directly to the other person, and that I would be typing EVERYTHING they said word for word, they would continue to say "well, tell her..." I seriously think they should do something in the schools with young kids, have them "walk a mile" so to speak and experience how it is to have to depend on a service like this, or to be without one of their senses. And not just with this specific service, but others as well, give them an idea of what it is like to have to order a pizza thru relay, or to not have the use of their legs or arms for a day, or to not be able to see anything, or to not be able to say anything.
Hey! Call me sometime, I promise to be the model caller:)
