What I meant (badly phrased, I know) is that sometimes you need a bit of a
thick skin and to be prepared to stick to your guns in the Asterisk
community. This can be a rough experience when first starting out.

The trigger-happiness seems to be well correlated with being a bug 
marshal. Having been in a similar position myself I understand the 
tendency to think of all errors being user errors. Patience (again, 
something I am hard pressed for myself) is important here. 

Nowadays I try to research a lot before speaking, at lest on technical
matters. I believe that to give no answer is better than to give an
incorrect one. Of course, this swings both ways. When someone proposes 
a solution it should be examined even if it seems wrong.
