You would do well to follow your own rules. I believe the only profanity I used in my correspondence with you is the word 'arse' -- if that's enough to get me moderated down in your 28-kilouser-strong community then I want no part of it. > Or, better yet, Digium should shut this list down and move it to a > commercial vBulletin style forum and get some good moderators to delete > posts that do not follow a basic set of social rules of behavior.

No thanks, I don't do well with censorship. You don't happen to be one of those neighbourhood czars who try and enforce what your neighbours can do with their homes in order to protect your own property value, do you? Again, there's no reason for this list to be shut down. Asterisk has a link to voip-info.org on its site and also has links to several other online resources. Why should your forum be any different? If it really is better, everyone will flock to it. -A. _______________________________________________ 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
