<p style="margin: 0;"><span><span>I strongly suggest Digium should review, or at least put together a coherent policy for the purpose and direction of this business list. Sometimes it seems that the policies of this list are dictated by whoever at Digium feels opinionated enough as to judge what the content should be.  It is time to realize that this list is not working out in its supposed goal of fostering business relations among the Asterisk business community.  This list ain't booming, period. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span><span>Causes are:</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span><span>1) People with legitimate products discouraged by their direct competitors who pick up on little things as a typo, and whose real agenda is to ridicule whomever they view as their competition.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span><span>2) Category SPAM used too liberally to penalize businesses with legitimate products.  And people with legitimate SPAMS allowed to linger for too long. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0;">3) One member (I ain't saying who), who bores this list to death to feed his ego, and who tells everyone how big shot he is, how many contracts he is got, how many countries he's been, etc. He is the boring member.</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span><span>   A couple of years ago I posted, only once, a note indicating a product I developed and for which I offered commissions to whoever wanted to resell it.  Someone took my post and immediately stamped ****SPAM**** on the title.  Basically, it convinced me that this list is not friendly to developers who really desire to make Asterisk a better product.  A few years later, it seems this is still the case.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0;"><span><span>My 2 cents.</span></span></p>
