		<description>Wes,

Yeah, I don&#039;t blame you for that. I even submitted my video to confirmed for continue this program. LLVRS customer service failed â€“ they never replied back to me. 

What bother me the most is that they misleading deaf community and it are illegal in some states whether they made mistake or not. It is false advertising to me.

Bottom line, it is good lesson and hopefully LLVRS will do better next time.

Smile.</description>

		<description>Dear Grant W. Laird, Jr.

I appreciate your opinion and comments. 
Lifelinks tried to do something positive for the deaf community by offering to pay for free broadband from Comcast regardless of whether they used Lifelinks VRS or any other VRS provider. No other VRS company has ever done that, not even wealthy Sorenson. Yet, instead of gratitude, you are angry with us because the program ended, because hearing people abused our generosity and faked being deaf. Clearly, as a small company,our resources are limited. Hearing people outnumbered deaf people 9:1 in accepting our free broafband offer. We also provided free web cameras.We sent out e-mails to all users to make them aware that Comcast would be discontinuing the service.Perhaps, the e-mail address we had for some people was inaccurate. We tried and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and hope that you will find the Lifelinks VRS service satisfactory on its own merits. Lifelinks provided Spanish sign language even before it was mandated and even before it was reimbursed, because we truly care for the deaf community. 90% of our interpreters are CODA&#039;s and are well aware of deaf culture .
Thank you for your consideration.</description>

		<description>Grant,

Why are you complaining about LifeLink VRS?  Are you attempting to look for another VRS competitor to offer you a free high speed Internet cable service?

Oh boyâ€¦get a life.  Just pay the cable bill while you still get a free long distance especially some international distance call.

Lifelink VRS have right to cancel the free program since there are other hearies trying to steal the free high speed Internet cable service and fancy webcams from the deafies.

Do you still have problem with ASL terps at the LifeLink VRS? No, why are you whining over the freebies from the LifeLink VRS?

Your parent is not there to feed you with the silver spoonâ€¦.</description>
