[Asterisk-Dev] S/N ratio not improving on -dev

[Preston Garrison]

Message boards sort topics by thread, so you don't even have to read 
threads that don't pertain to you.. responses stay in that thread as 
well.  And response can only be made in that thread :)   Searching 
archives is nothing like that :)
