I exchanged off-list emails with him some while back, hoping to help him. Then I posted an email on the list defending him. As things progressed, I've wondered if it's just someone tweaking us-no one could be that clueless.
--Don _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Jerris Sent: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 8:11 AM To: Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-biz] Anyone knows about wholesale text messagingcontracts? I had a long discussion with him on IM the other day. His issue does appear to be a very poor understanding of english combined with compulsive eagerness. I discussed at length ways that he might make some sense, and asked him to review our conversation with someone who knew english ( they were out that day ). It would seem that was time wasted. Anyone else who can stand to help him?
