well, when your done your done. First, I had know that my e-mail would create such a problem.
I have been a part of this list for a while but I did not understand. So, I went back to TAUG web site and noted: "If you are a commercial supplier, please contact "asterisk-owner at uc dot org" for approval before sending messages of a commercial nature." Oh man; big mistake. I saw other e-mails saying "I have some stuff for sale etc." so I thought cool. I'll post the new product. Another big mistake. Some of the others on the list have handed down some great advice over the last year. Please don't think I don't have respect for this list. Thanks to all those who e-mailed in confidence. SO BASED ON THAT. AGAIN, EVERYONE PLEASE EXCEPT MY TOTAL APOLOGY. I WITHDRAW THE WHOLE THING AND WILL NEVER AGAIN POST A THING OF THIS NATURE.
