[Asterisk-Users] Multiple asterisk process

[Gregory Junker]

oh hell I give up, this is the third time that THunderbird would have 
sent my mail on its own, what am I on a timer?

At any rate, the point is that I'll bet that even you, Steve, didn't 
fall out of the crib knowing everything there is to know, and that at 
some point, you even asked questions of someone who felt the same way 
you do (at least at times)....but the difference was, he either answered 
your questions to your satisfaction, or politely directed you to where 
the answer could be found? I'll bet you didn't get many responses along 
the lines of "Jesus dude, don't you have a clue? What are you, a damn 
moron? Why are you bothering me with this sh*t? Go find out for 
yourself!!!" And if you did, I'll bet you didn't ask him again.

Problem is, when you respond like that, it reflects, unfortunately, 
poorly on the whole list body politic. And since I am not as world-weary 
as you are, I simply ask that if you cannot be polite, then don't reply 
to newb questions. It's really that simple.
