I was very happy to hearing your story Brad. A couple of times almost the same thing happened with me. Problems with NAT, module compilations, that I could solve without sending a single question to the list: Just searching for its arquive.

As a reflection, all the Free Software/Open Source world became huge as it is today, due to proactive work of its members. Answering questions and working on code without imediate financial rewards.

Thinking this way, I invite those who think about the open source communities just as a "zero price" and its mailing lists as a space to wait passively for answers, to rethink its own ideas. Before asking for something and adding "trash" to communities mailing lists, DO A WORK OF RESEARCH and then, send to the list what you made to solve (the solutions), even if you don't need the help of the list for that issue anymore.

Thanks for the oportunity to talk about this, Brad.

Rgds, Ricardo Martins.

After 3 days of crunch and a whole lot of reading.
This mailing list, and this mailing list alone has led me to the solutions
to my answers.
I am officially past the learning curve and have a blunt understanding of
what is going on.
Any questions now will be detailed and with knowledge.
"You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink!"
I gulped!
And now with this dialplan thing and hardcore internal troubleshooting, I
have a definite course of action.

I have worked with asterisk for years but have always gaffed off the
dialplan to peers and contractors and finally decided it was time to learn
this puppy!

Thank you for helping me get through the curve!

Brad
