OK, this is going to get confusing.  Note that the email address on 
this message is different than the email address in the mail to which 
I'm replying.  The more astute among you will notice that THERE ARE 
TWO JOHN TODDS ON THE LIST.

Even more confusingly, the "new" John Todd signs his messages with 
"JT", like I do.

John -

First:
   Perhaps, for the sake of clarity, you may wish to sign with a 
different .sig for the asterisk mailing lists, as I'm somewhat 
prolific here and confusion will happen very quickly.  Might I 
suggest "JDT" and perhaps putting a "D" initial in your "From:" 
header?


Second:
   You're missing spaces around your equal sign, which is very important.

exten => s,3,GotoIf($[${orig} = ${cf}]?5:4)
