<div class="moz-cite-prefix">We are about to announce the
availability of a product that was written to solve data
integration problems in Learning Management implementations.<br>
It might help people who need to merge Asterisk CDR data with
trunk provider's data and feed a CRM or billing system.<br>
<br>
I would like to think that I could broadcast it here.<br>
<br>
If it solves a problem, talk to me, otherwise I hope that people
here will treat it with the equanimity that I show to people who
talk about topics that do not apply to me.<br>
<br>
Is there a lower limit of members that a question or statement
must apply to before it is not spam?<br>
<br>
I belong to another forum that has a lot of very strict rules
about participation of vendors. <br>
They are going to lose a lot of sources of good information and
expertise if they enforce these rules.<br>
They are almost antagonistic to vendors but as a vendor, I deal
with the issues every day whereas the end-users are often hitting
the problem for the first and only time in their lives.<br>
As a vendor in other forums, I try to balance commercial interest
with technical help.<br>
I will usually let people know that I sell a certain product so
that they understand that I have a commercial interest. <br>
Then I give them my opinion or technical information.<br>
I think that this is fair and lets the other members make a
judgment about my statement with at least some knowledge about my
bias and, perhaps, the limit of applicability of my suggestion.<br>
<br>
OTOH, People who try to push weight loss solutions here, deserve
whatever gets thrown at them.<br>

<div>Oh my goodness!, the asteriz-biz? nooo, they will kill you
if you try to post anything offering your services!... that
list ceased to provide any value and died a long time ago
precisely because its members ran each other away from it. A
while back, I wrote a nice click-to-call service and I dared
put a post indicating that I was offering it for a fee, and in
no time they called me "spammer". There is really no
incentive to reward someone else's achievements, unless you
tell them that you are given them your code for free, then
they want it (totally contradicting the meaning of the word
"business").<br>
