[Asterisk-Users] Re: Do questions actually answer people here?

Unfortunately, wrong information is just as easy to be uploaded. It's an 
inherent problem with this type of communication system, so the wiki should 
never be sole source. RTFM is a foregone. Unfortunately, theres no simple 
method to insure inadvertent wrong info doesn't get posted, I can see a 
person easily following a "wrong" thread for days, only to find later on, a 
minor, small notice saying everything you read before is bad info.
Please don't take this the wrong way about wiki's, they're a great forum, 
and a valuable resource, but like any party line system like this, the 
reader beware, verify, test, and realize legitimate mistakes DO 
happen....and what works for party "A" may not work for you....Just a word 
of caution....
