! 		<para>
! 			Asterisk power users and developers are often found 
! 			conversing and socializing in the #asterisk channel 
! 			of the freenode IRC network.  There are some common 
! 			guidelines that will help you get your questions
! 			answered.

! 				<para>
! 				Don't be discouraged if someone does not immediately answer your
! 				questions.  Sometimes questions will not be answered if a simple
! 				google search can solve your issue.

! 				<para>
! 				Please do not repeat your question multiple times in a short time
! 				frame.  This is an easy way to annoy many of the users in the
! 				channel.  If someone does not acknowledge you within 5 minutes of your
! 				query, it is safe to ask your question again.  Do not be obnoxious
! 				about it, though.

! 				<para>
! 				 A lot of the users in the channel run professional consulting
! 				companies that request payment in exchange for help.  Do not be
! 				discouraged by this; it is free market capitalization and is for the
! 				good of the Asterisk community.  If you do not wish to pay for quality
! 				support, that is fine; many people will not answer your questions,
! 				however.  Usually, if youre willing to pay for support, let it be
! 				known early on and your chances of receiving quality support will
! 				increase.

! 				The normal rules of internet etiquette apply:  please do not use
! 				ALL CAPS (which indicates yelling), do not use excessively foul
! 				language directed at another person in the channel, and overall,
! 				please behave.  Being rude and obnoxious will only serve to get you
! 				ignored quickly.
