Last I checked, Slashdot's VoIP Providers Given 120 Days to Provide 911 Service had more than 600 comments.

The usual Slashdot rabble and rant: 

*Reflexive Libertarians who don't want the government to regulate anything;

*Practical technocrats who realize that VoIP E911 in 120 days isn't as easy as it sounds;

*A healthy skepticism of big telcos;

*"You're clueless" invective directed at other posters;

*Suggested solutions ranging in credibility from stuff that ought to get them hired to theories about as scientifically valid as perpetual motion machines.

Any of these Slashdot threads really give you pause for thought? Or anger? Or laughter? Let us know about it! TalkBack and let us know.
