Of course you do.

Because I read the contract. Read the contract and tell me if I got it wrong.

You can copy paste the section if you'd like if that is indeed the case and show us you're right.

I didn't read it, I've never seen it, however I'm not assuming one way or the other here. You said "I think", so forgive my digital eye roll given the assumptions and assertions that this thread has a long history of.

I posted the contract on this board a while back.

I read it. You didn't. Do what I remember of the contract that I actually read and posted on this board leads me to believe that UC is on the hook. I suppose I could fetch the digital copy on my computer, but why discuss with someone who admits a position of ignorance.

I'd rather get feedback from someone who cared enough to read for themselves.

I've lurked for awhile, but haven't monitered to catch every post. I suppose never having seen it posted and having the chance to read it could pass for not caring. Hundreds of pages and thousands of posts are quite a bit to sift through to find your link.

Personally, if I had the vested interest you seem to have on your side of this long standing debate, I'd keep the language handy to quickly shoot down those who may be a little too optimistic.

Since you assumed that I "didnt care to read it", I'll gladly dispel that notion and say that I'd love to read the language of this deal. However, I DON'T care enough to hunt down your post amongst multiple FCC threads and countless related comments. (I'm sure this last sentence will be extrapolated out to be used against me that "clearly I don't care enough" or some twist and therefore the conversation with me is pointless.)

But if you can't see the humor when one of the staunchest detractors of this partnership says "I think it's UC", just like if one of the more vehement proponents of this deal were to come in and say "I think it's FCC that fixes it" would be equally humorous, then I don't know what else to tell you. Its just a kickoff to the cyclical trend this topic takes. Not belly laugh humor, but more mild chuckle with accompanying eye roll.

I didn't know you had read the contract when I made my initial comment, so when an occasional observer of this topic saw the words "I think", again, you can't blame them for assuming this topic is circling back around yet again. I do remember, however, a poster who outlined the cycles this topic goes through and the comments we'd see coming up. And wouldn't you know it he ended up being mostly correct. So to see it potentially kick back off again was both funny and exasperating.

Ugh, that was long winded and now everything is less fun.
TL;DR I found it funny, wasn't saying you were wrong. Condescension is a poor substitute for education. Explaining a funny makes it not funny :( .
