Dear Glomph, Thanks, I know what the Gizmo project is. I'm just not interested. And yes, it's spam: 1. It's unsolicited -- I'm not registered on Sipphone.com. It came in through an email address I use exclusively for the asterisk-users list and a small volume of personal mail. 2. It's commercial -- #5 of "10 more things to do" reads "Add $10 in CallOut credit to your account and talk for hours". So, they're trying to sell me something. Yokel: "A clumsy, unsophisticated person". I think that would be their preferred label... Why? Because if you send unsolicited commercial email in the US without offering a way to opt out of future mailings, you're either clumsy and unsophisticated, or you're a criminal. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and called them "yokels". If that term offends you in any way, then let's use the more factual "criminals." _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
