Ok folks, could not stop myself any longer.   This pissing and moaning 
is foolish to say the least.  There was a post a while ago in the 
original hijacked thread by Steve Edwards that gave a link to the "rules 
of the list" at:
http://www.asterisk.org/community/discuss/

GO READ THEM!

Directly before the list of Rules is:

Show consideration. It's important to read the rules before posting on a 
mailing list.

Sage advice if you ask me, and yes I know nobody actually asked me.

It is not hard to follow the rules .  If the nice folks at Digium took 
the time to post rules we should at least TRY to follow them. If you do 
not like the rules you can always petition Digium to change them but, 
taking up bandwidth on the list in this all to frequent pissing match is 
a futile waste of time.

Grow up, follow the rules, have a good day.
