I totally agree. <br><br>I would much rather see the posts get ignored. I've been reading this list for about 9 months and have seen people get trashed for asking a simple question. I understand, we're (you're) developers, but I just don't think you should address other people like this if you want to be constructive.
<br><br>This is one of the more hostile lists I've seen, and frankly, it is intimidating for people who would want to help with the project. I would like to think that this list is a resource for people who would like to help make the product better. I realize that off topic posts irritate us all, but i think a bit more tact is called for when dealing with misplaced posts. It also reflects poorly on Digium to have their developers trashing people on their development forum.
<br><br>Just ignore the posts or politely reply that this is not the list for activity. Enough with trashing these people.<br><br>Nick<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/9/07, <b class="gmail_sendername"><a href="mailto:abalashov@evaristesys.com">
