The archive is very searchable it just is a pain sometimes... To search by relevance... Go to google.com. Enter: site:lists.digium.com <some search value> You get the archive back with relevance as the main sorter.
I have also seen some places that back up the list and sort by date and allow searching. (looking for these again) So it may be labor intensive sometimes but there is certainly the ability to search.

If the were as lease some users would search. The archives need to be fully indexed. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of steve szmidt Sent: Monday, June 27, 2005 3:46 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] LiveVoip is Bankrupt - Why this thread On Monday 27 June 2005 14:31, Michael Di Martino wrote: > If this list spent at least half the time on helping other asterisk > admins as it does on trivial things like LiveVoips bankruptcy it just > might be a great list. > As it stands now this list is kind of useless.

Lists with this number of new members have a repetiveness of the same questions which people sometimes get tired of answering. Which is too bad. However, even though it seemingly does not directly aid asterisk users it does so indirectly. People on this list grow into becoming lemonade stand operators and maybe even bigger service providers. It is often done because people realize that "Wow, I can do it too!". Unfortunately it's not something that lives in the world of the Internet, but enters the heavily controlled area of phones. An area droght with difficulties for any newcomer. The thread is showing and giving reason to be a bit better prepared when entering into this particular service industry. As such it is of great importance to those wise enough to take note. For the rest it's just noise. One could probably argue effectively for an Asterisk-Basic list. Or an Asterisk-Advanced user list. Something that makes it easier to get started without being overwhelmed by 10,000-15,000 users posts. A place that frequently posted links to the beginner pages on the wiki. -- Steve Szmidt "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
