Furthermore, what would a Digium paid moderator do? Have to approve each post before it goes out? Decide what is on-topic or not? Maybe they would think that Sangoma posts were off--topic. I don't see how you and others pointing out that it should not be posted here is any different than a Digium employee, unless they are approving each post, which sounds like a full time job and very subjective. -- Thanks, Steve Totaro +18887771888 (Toll Free) +12409381212 (Cell) +12024369784 (Skype) _______________________________________________ --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
