I definitely agree with your statement Steve; and yet certainly there will be 
people who are new to Asterisk (as I am) who have not acquired the skill to 
be able to "show best practices".  And, I also know that more postings will 
be made that are not good examples of how to script Asterisk, simply because 
many of the postings are created to solve a problem that stems from a lack of 
knowledge about Asterisk.  As I stated in a previous post, we all start 
somewhere; and I add that no one is born knowing how to use Asterisk.

I agree with your statement here too.  I also know in the mean time before 
such a needed resource becomes available, people will continue to scour the 
archives for answers.  We all should really take heed to Steve's suggestion 
and create our posts using the best of our Asterisk scripting abilities we 
posses at the time of writing.
