Nobody’s perfect." Man, you bloggers are a rough crowd. Turns out the blogger quoted here, Tom Evslin, is wrong when he writes: "none of us, professional or amateur, has pressed the company itself for a reply." *I* pressed Futurephone for a reply. I asked its head honcho, Tom Doolin, to explain its business plan. In my initial posting, I reported what he told me (that once it's built up a name, it will start charging). Later, I ran Tom Evslin's theory by him--about the arbitrage of terminating carrier rates. He refused to discuss it. But that's not the same thing as my being "lazy" or "not pressing the company for a reply." --Pogue “I simply like the aspect that someone at The Times was caught being a tad lazy.

I simply like the aspect that someone at The Times was caught being a tad lazy.

I simply like the aspect that someone at The Times was caught being a tad lazy. Nobody’s perfect :-)
