Why do I see you in a little room, with agents running out yanking at
their hair as you try to sell them on a asterisk pbx for their
agencies...? You would walk out with all the contacts you need, and THEM
surrendering ;)
(either that or charges of communistic activity cause asterisk takes the
big bucks away from the big boys?)
Did anyone else catch that news article about the Russian creator of the
AK-47 who claimed (paraphrased)
'My job was to create a efficient, cost effective weapon for the
russian forces, I only regret that it came to late for WWII.
The fact that it is now the weapon of choice among terrorists and
street gangs is not my fault, however I am not surprised they
find it an excellent value'

*Hey Jim:*
I never considered it a sales strategy Jim. But now that you
mentioned, I think its a great idea and we need to team up! I see
tremendous opportunities to serve *Military *depts. in Canada and the
USA. *Sniper Assaults *around $15,000. *Mortars *at $15,000+ and
*rocket propelled grenades *vs. inexpensive Asterisk deployment. One
is *war *and the other is *peace*.
We can serve *government *organizations and *bomb *squads the ability
to give them their own inexpensive phone systems for home & office
use. Their phone communications all *encrypted* - so that other *spy
agencies *and *terrorist *organizations around the *world *cannot
eavesdrop on the *CIA, FBI, RCMP,* and so on.
Also deploying Asterisk at community centres and training kids with
*lost causes*, to get them off the streets from selling *hand guns*
going at $50 per unit on the streets of New York. Maybe also deploy
Asterisk & train folks on Asterisk at Community Centres at areas near
Jane & Finch which had a record bust & sting operations few months ago
to crack down *guns*, *drugs *and other *criminals* probably *engaged
*in *terrorist* activities.
Not necessarily do I support the actions of *Home Land *security, but
I don't mind an Asterisk consulting opportunity with them :).
Perhaps ventures & ideas for Universal *Peace *and zero *TERRORIST*
activities around the globe might get us greater recognition with the
hope to deploy Asterisk solutions. The sales strategies on Asterisk
opportunities vs. *terrorist activities *is more humble and non
*violent *in nature.
I look forward to my next *interrogation *at the Canada/USA border
when I travel for business. I hope my interrogators will not be the
contracted staff by US government who engaged themselves in *torture
*techniques. I also want to make sure that the USA Government Staff
understands and appreciates I'm just a peace loving man, completely
against *terrorists *and have a wife & kid to feed and that I am
against any form of violence and that a simple needle scare the day
lights out of me when visiting a hospital - so definitely *guns *and
*rifles *and *sniper assaults *is a big no no in my lifestyle. My
involvement in *terrorism *related matters is limited to watching CNN,
BBC, CBC and other documentaries. Ok... maybe I played a little DOOM
in my early years.
If any of the government bodies want to extract info from me, all they
need to do is *threaten *me with a day or two prison time. *Torture
*I guarantees you will be an overkill for me. I'll probably break
down if they just say Boo. So I want to also assure the TAUG group
that I prefer Star Bux & Second Cup vs. some coffee from prison or
jail. I want my coffee made fresh.
Jim, so next time I travel, please have a few of your "Asterisk, The
future of Telephony" signed & autographed as I suspect this time I'll
be interrogated for a good hour or two due to the nature of my e-mail
and keywords in it, and in that time frame I would also like to take
the opportunity to educate these trigger happy cowboys how productive
Asterisk can be, and that they can talk to their friends, family and
girlfriends for free across the continents if they deployed their own
little Asterisk box. I have no doubt when they go through my stuff
they will want to ask me questions about what "Asterisk" is.
*Cheers!*
