Rant: Well, what in Mogg's name did you call me for then?

[theoldwolf]

I run a business. Several, actually. I get calls. This morning I was on the phone with a client and another call came through, but I missed it. So when I was done with the current client, I called the number back and indicated who I was, and that I had just received a call from this number.

I was promptly lectured on how strange this "call-back" business was, and how rude it was to intrude on someone's personal life. And on, and on. Etcetera. Oh, and she won't use the internet, either. Yikes.

Well, adopting the conciliatory tone of Mr. DeBakey, I got the order anyway, but Yikes. By the holy skull of Mogg's grandmother, Lady...

Luddites, furrfu!

Ever conversed with anybody via TypeTalk?

No; why?

It's a method of communicating with the deaf via an intermediary on the phone who transcribes what you say...
feels darn strange, you have to keep it slow and remember to allow gaps for the customer to reply.....
