27 January (Part 1) - Telecoms twit
As I have said before, Bonkers does not attract much by way of dissenting
voices, in fact I cannot remember the last one and the total cannot be more than
two. In a way it is disappointing, presumably the blog reaches only those of
like minds. However the weekend brought forth a critic. He said he wasn’t going
to read Bonkers any more because my description of
how a telephone
bell works was simplified to the point of inaccuracy. True it was, but I was
attempting to pad out a small news item about the lack of fibre broadband in
parts of Welling, not write a treatise on telecommunications practice. For that
you can go to Google.
The critic presumably has written such a treatise, his web address is www.cyber-cottage.co.uk so if you
need to buy an office phone system and deal with someone who hasn’t a clue how
to write a blog which won’t scare too many people away, you know where you can
go. But be aware he might poke fun at any grammatical or spelling errors in your message
and not read it to the end. His loss.
I removed the ringing voltage reference, it was irrelevant anyway.
