After reading some of the nonsense opinions about on-line communites, the profanity and "shout down" style of posts here, I don't think the UNIX forums are a good place to host this list. We don't permit profanity in our community, and try to build a community where all people, including women and others who are offended by profanity are protected by a set of rules which keep the level of insults and profanity down to a minimum or near zero.
In addition, the lag time between posting a message to this list and having it delivered is a joke. I posted this message below at 2:35 and it was delivered to me, a new subscriber, an hour later. I am sorry to say, but those on this list who are aggressively advocating SMTP mail with a lag time on a hour, posting profanity, and being impolite to other posters are not helping the Digium community. These "shout down" replies are absolute nonsense and I, for one, am surprised that Digium supports this type of nonsense support. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Bass Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 2:35 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Are there online forums instead of thisemailforum?? Chuck, You are 1000 percent correct. Email does not build an on-line community. The search function is primitive at best. Just like Mr. Bunn said in his original email, email lists for support are a dinosaur, and people who have moved beyond dinosaurs are considered intelligent in the evolutionary chain, LOL If Digium agrees to decommission this noisy and unorganized list traffic, I will set up a special category for Asterisk support at www.unix.com, free of charge, and since Asterisk runs on Linux/Unix, this is a good fit. I will give moderator rights to anyone Digium chooses. Yours sincerely. _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
