[Asterisk-Users] * INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ASTERISK COMMUNITY - PLEASE READ NOW *

[Jay Milk]

Are we on this again?  How about letting the list-owner(s) decide what's
appropriate here, rather than wasting bandwidth discussing what you guys
think is proper list-etiquette.  Some people differ from your opinions
and their reasons are just as valid as yours.

What gets me is that people with signatures like this:
-- 
   _/   _/  _/_/_/_/  _/    _/  _/_/_/  _/    _/
  _/_/_/   _/_/      _/    _/    _/    _/_/  _/   K e v i n   W a l s h
 _/ _/    _/          _/ _/     _/    _/  _/_/    kevin at cursor.biz
_/   _/  _/_/_/_/      _/    _/_/_/  _/    _/

are talking about "well deserved slaps" and telling others what not to
do.  The noive.
