Yes it is way too long. We will have our IP relay service in 2011, but many Deaf people in Canada want VRS first.
He was depressed for a long time since Viable and other VRS cut off services to Canadians since most of his family doesn't know ASL nor how to use a computer, so point-to-point technology won't ease his fustrations; he doesn't want to back to snail mail and TTY. He hasn't coped with being cut off from VRS yet.
How I know? He claimed his router was broken even though there was nothing wrong with it-- he was trying to call his grandma, who doesn't know ASL; point-to-point was fine, but I couldn't figure out why he was so upset. I only figured this out by going through his old posts. So, I decided not to help him til he come to terms that he need to go back to the old ways or teach his family how to use computers.
Yeah, I figured that out too. I had not known his family was computer illiterate.

His family does know computers; it is just that he can be quite socially infantile.
I have seen his family members expressing concern, interest or just affection to him and he will be passive/aggressive to them from previous ooVoo conversations.
This is why I have chosen to cease all conversations with Travis because he needs to learn he cannot demand everything his way which he has done so.
It is tiring and cumbersome dealing with an energy vampire.
Canadian people should press Canadian telephone funds to pay American VRS providers till 2013

I am with you because I have read Travis's comments....it is very tiring...he is relying on AD for his help. We are not therapists or psychologists. All he needs is to discuss his issues with his psychologist, not throwing his problems at us...we are not certificated or licensed therapists/psychologists.
If I have severe issues, I will not post my shits on AD at all.. I keep my private stuff private...some people don't need to know.
I hope Travis keeps venting directly at his psychologist in private, not here on AD.
I know my psychiast private. not allow AD. That is why reason. I point important to better hope be plan do.. I want to see help communication to prviate viable vision and purple 3 that is important...
Wait 3 years.
