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

[Jon Pounder]

There is usually a tradeoff between time and money - either you spend your
time, or money to get an answer to something or get something working. If
it is a simple answer most people here are nice enough to provide it for
free. If not, you are asking them to invest their time to save you money
which is not fair to them at all.
