DWSUWF From the very beginning of this loony fad 9

Zon: Do you really think it's a "loony fad"? Think about all the people and the places they find themselves in benefiting from cell phones, some tremendously. This "loony fad" you call it has probably saved several thousand lives and minimized the effect of injuries not to mention the benefits to businesses with reps in the field -- to name just a few. For many of those reps their customers may not use cell phones but still benefit from other people (namely the reps) using cell phones. I suppose you think the "loony fad" was a disservice to the innocents on board the plane that crashed on 9/11 in Pennsylvania.

Think First! 29

DWSUWF: Lighten up pardner...

Every word I said stands.

So you thought about it and you stand by your words that it's a loony fad. When do you think people will stop using cell phones to save lives?... When will businesses stop using cell phones to save businesses time and money while better serving customers? They shouldn't be contributing to a loony fad. Also, how can a fad be loony?

DWSUWF: PS. You might want to curtail your coffee intake after 5 PM...

That was supposed to be an insult, right? An insult is only an insult if the intended target accepts it as such. BTW, too bad for you, I only drink decafe.

DWSUWF: Judging by the borderline hysteria in your reply you'd think I advocated that you be denied the option of irradiating your brain. I don't. If you want to take this risk I'm 110% in favor of you knocking yourself out.31

You consider that using cell phones to save lives part of a loony fad and you then proclaim my response was borderline hysteria!?

You are a hoot.

'Pardner', think first.

Said the pot as it called the kettle black, LOL!

I'll bet that you go ape-sh*t ballistic when you encounter people who suggest that you shouldn't drive and use your cell phone at the same time, don't you?
