     You may be taking what happened on IRC a bit too literally.

   You are right, judging from the responses I have received both on and
   off-list. Everyone has been extremely polite and understanding.  I partly
   expected to get flamed on this one.  Many thanks to all who responded!

     You got plenty of help on your Polycom and call parking issues on 09/14,
     from some very knowledgeable people.  On 09/17, you asked one question
     about rPath/Conary and one person did a '/me puts jcanfield on ignore'
     emote.  He probably didn't even ignore you, it was just his way of
     saying he wasn't interested in answering questions about packaging
     systems on a Linux distro he doesn't use.  The simple answer to your
     question ("how do I get the LDAPGet module") is answered on the Wiki -
     you download it from the author's site.  The question of "how do I
     package some arbitrary source code into a conary package?" isn't really
     germane to #asterisk.

   In no way did I mean to discredit the help I have received so far.  As a
   newcomer I saw asterisk/asteriskNOW/Digium as one and the same. I realize
   now, the ecosystem that is "Asterisk", is much more diverse than that.   
    

     As to the second class citizen point, I think you'll find that people
     who come into #asterisk asking about problems with their GUI-enabled
     Asterisk install fall into one of two categories: those who are willing
     to reduce the problem down to it's non-GUI elements and pastebin the
     configs and output, and those who are incapable or unwilling to do so. 
     The former tend to get help from people on #asterisk; IMHO the latter
     should find other places to ask for help, or pay for consulting
     services.

   100% agree.

   Thanks again.
