    I know I've told this story multiple times, but my company ended up with a $400 phone bill because the lead developer set it up to poll every 10 minutes.

    Well I haven't heard the story! I can't believe the guy didn't listen to your idea. I remember running up my parents phone bill. Let me just say the outcome was a pink rear end!

    I had a telco broker who had some interesting ideas. He suggested I purchase call forward on busy service for the hub. It was $3/month. Set the call forward busy destination to the number in the toll area. Set the hub to call "itself". The line was busy, naturally, and forwarded to the destination for essentially a penny a call.

    Now that sir, is a crafty idea! Our phone company would charge long distance for a call to the next county.

    you sure you didn't spend all your time talking to chatgpt so you could post insults by proxy about me, deuce and echicken?
    i see that garbage you posted on bbs carnival.

    Nah dude, I have no idea what your talking about. I don't use chatgp all that much. I barely know your guys, and cannot make an opinion of someone unless I get to know you.
    Matter of fact you seem like a cool dude. I don't know what you mean by "proxy". I was bored one day and asked what happened to bbsing, and kept clicking suggestions it was making. I have adhd and I have a bad habbit of doing things like that.

    Why would you think I post insults about you guys by proxy? Better yet, why post insults at all? I try to get along with people, even if they are rude or mean. Someting I was bad at before. I would get mad and keep the fire going. One day I realized stuff like that wasn't worth it.

    I did find the chatgp response interesting enough to post it, though. Perhaps someone will read it down the road and think about being mean to people.

    I do have a question, though. OFF topic, but do you happen to play diablo? I am looking for some people to play with that enjoy computers and diablo as much as I do.

    yet, why post insults at all? I try to get along with people,

    because you're an idiot. fuck off.
