[asterisk-biz] [asterisk-users] $20 Bounty

[Bill Michaelson]

It's conceivable that the combined effort of these two responders

required less than ten minutes of time, yielding a theoretical pay rate 
of $120/hour.

I wonder how much effort went into the other responses.

That will be $6 for my commentary, please.
