I'm no wise sage but...

if you read me enough you know that I rarely say anything with the utmost certainty. The reason being is that I know that I don't really know that much with the utmost certainty but today is different.

I will tell you something with the utmost certainty.

Something that may save a life.

And certainly feel free to pass this knowledge on.

I work in an office as a lot of folks do and in this office I can transfer calls to any office phone line. Sometimes, one of my phone lines will ring and on the other end is a poor misguided but persistent fax machine.

Now the fax machine doesn't know any better, I can't really get mad at the machine, it's just doing what some inattentive human told it to do.

I don't know about you but I don't speak fax but I do know someone who does, that someone is my company's fax machine. So, when I get a misguided call from a fax machine I do exactly what I do when I get a misguided call from a human, I transfer that call to someone who can help, someone who speaks that language, so to speak. I transfer that call to my company's fax machine.

If your company's phone system can transfer phone calls to the fax machine, you will want to thank me later.

I share this knowledge free of charge and no thanks is necessary.

I've actually done something similar with more convential phone/fax line setups and have plugged the phone line into the fax machine because I knew in three minutes that fax machine would be calling again.
