[Asterisk-Users] Correction regarding price of Grandstream Budgetone 100 series phone

[Mark Spencer]

in general, i think it is most appropriate to discuss technical issues and
avoid specific price discussions for fear of having another "here is all
the stuff i have to sell" discussions.  however, i think bill was totally
fine to correct the erroneous price quoted on the list.

i think that many people will have more grandstream questions of a
technical nature to ask, as well, so i hope bill will be able to assist
the list in that manner.
