I thought it was such an obvious joke that it didnt need anything indicating that it was a joke. If you arent from north america you may not get the Miss Cleo reference (heavily advertised telephone psychic later charged and convicted of fraud relating to the operation of her premium number network - she never saw that coming). Who in their right mind would seriously rate a protocols merit based on the IEEE number designation? This should make it obvious that I was not serious to people outside north america (or ones that lived under a rock many years ago when every 5 minutes there was a miss cleo tv commercial on). Finally it has become quite apparent that you want to argue this to death, I dont. So I am stepping out of the conversation. I do expect that you will want the last word, so I give you an opportunity now to do just that. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
