I don't think you have anything to worry about hon. I have a great friend
from another universe who is completely deaf. This other universe has had
the voice option in use for years but not many people use it. Since I no
longer go to that universe I can only chat with him in yahoo these days, and
we all know that yahoo uses voice chat. He of course has no need for that
since he would never be able to hear anyone and I don't mind using text
chatting with him because I can sympathize with his dilemna. Nor does he
feel like he's missing out on something. You will find that most people will
understand. Princess Leia, who is a very respected person within the AW
community is also deaf. I'm sure she probably has no worries about her being
able to communicate with people in there. And I'm sure not everyone has the
luxury of owning a mic. Especially those people using a computer from work.
Those puters usually don't have speakers anyway. In my opinion, if someone
blatantly ignores your requests to talk using text, they aren't worth
talking with to begin with. ;-")

Usually with voice chat, you select the individuals you want to voice chat
with. Of course there are tons of programs one can use, but I would imagine
AW can't afford the more expensive ones which are packed with options and
therefore we'd be using a cheaper version for a while which would only allow
us to select 1 person at a time to voice chat with as opposed to a
"conference call" type of thing. I highly doubt we'd be listening to dozens
of people all talking at once.

I am the same. I rarely use yahoo voice chat even tho I've had it for over 5
years. Even most of my friends on yahoo either ignore it or forget it's
there. ;-"D

Yes, .....she is one and the same hon. And the owner of Cyborg world. A
great lady if you ever get the opportunity to meet her. Very down to earth
and honest, even if she DOES make a ton of typos hehehe ((((((((((((((PL-
if yer reading this))))))))))) ;-"D She makes no qualms about her
deafness and I seriously doubt it stops her from chatting with whomever she
wants to. She has the patience of a saint. I've seen her putting up with all
kinds of things at the gate over the years and she remains steadfast as
ever. It is easy to see why PL is so highly respected by all those who have
had the pleasure of talking with her. ;-")

Sadly you are right. I also signed the petition, even though I know it won't
do any good. It's a pipe dream to think a simple online petition will bring
an ex-employee back to a company. I won't be holding my breath waiting for
something like that to change. I still don't have any info on the "firing"
of Kellie. I wonder where Strike got his details? Perhaps Kellie left for
greener pastures elsewhere? Well, whatever happened, I do wish her the best
of luck in anything she pursues. We'll miss you VERY much Kellie
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((huge hug))))))))))))))))))))))))))). Please
visit us on occasion. (Hoping she can still read these ngs or someone might
pass them along to her)

I am posting for a friend who lost his build and tried looking it up on
http://tangent.imatowns.com/awps/search.php
Even though he's typing in the correct cit #, its telling him he has no
builds, which is a crock since I am currently visiting one of them right
now. Any clues??? Is the website down or something? Is he doing something
wrong maybe? He's checked and triple checked to make sure he wasn't typoing
his cit #.
Would appreciate any advice on this. Thanks ;-"D
Dec 12, 2004, 4:56am
ahhhhhh that explains it then!!! the build i was at was made in August
and the one he couldn't find was made just this past month. hehehe. Thanks
for explaining. ((((((((((Hugs)))))))) ;-"D
