[asterisk-users] How to ask questions the smart way

[Danny Nicholas]

A useful guide;  Sadly many posters won't read any of it.  We have all kinds
here, but the overall experience can be quite good and useful if you apply
patience and principles.

Subject: [asterisk-users] How to ask questions the smart way

Inspired by AG Projects' Adrian Georgescu's post of Eric S. Raymond's 
classic "How to Ask Questions the Smart Way" to the OpenSIPS-users 
mailing list[1], I'm going to repost it here:

     http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

As Adrian said, "This a good read for those who show up on mailing lists 
without any guidance about how to ask the right questions and then 
complain that nobody answers their questions as they want."

I think there's never a wrong time and a wrong place on a public 
high-volume mailing list for all the participants to take a moment and 
meditate on this issue a little bit.
