[asterisk-users] Thank you Asterisk mailing list!

[Ricardo Martins]

I was very happy to hearing your story Brad. A couple of times almost 
the same thing happened with me. Problems with NAT, module compilations, 
that I could solve without sending a single question to the list: Just 
searching for its arquive.

As a reflection, all the Free Software/Open Source world became huge as 
it is today, due to proactive work of its members. Answering questions 
and working on code without imediate financial rewards.

Thinking this way, I invite those who think about the open source 
communities just as a "zero price" and its mailing lists as a space to 
wait passively for answers, to rethink its own ideas. Before asking for 
something and adding "trash" to communities mailing lists, DO A WORK OF 
RESEARCH and then, send to the list what you made to solve (the 
solutions), even if you don't need the help of the list for that issue 
anymore.

Thanks for the oportunity to talk about this, Brad.

Rgds, Ricardo Martins.
