The original poster appears to have attempted to start a new thread by simply replying to an article in an existing thread. This, I think you'll agree, is not so helpful to people using threaded mail readers and is not following proper netiquette.
The poster also made the mistake of not changing the subject line when attempting to start the new thread. I, for one, delete a good 50-60% of the articles in this mail list simply based upon the subject line - especially if I've read parts of the thread and have found it to be of no interest. I imagine that others do the same. Articles that have subjects such as "(no subject)", "Asterisk-Users digest" and "a couple of questions" (with no actual indication of content) get deleted almost as a reflex action. Most HTML articles get deleted as soon as I open them; People who post using HTML deserve nothing less. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _______________________________________________ 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
