Uh, yeah.

I am speaking for myself only.  I do not work for nor pretend to speak for 
Digium.

Blow it out your arse.  It seems the only people who bitch about the mailing 
lists are the people who can't navigate them.  Nobody's stopping you from 
setting up an asterisk forum on unix.com.  Competition is healthy.  Give it a 
year.  Tell us which is more popular, your forum or the list.  My money's on 
the list for the place to find solid technical answers, good (albeit 
sometimes offtopic) discussion and the odd humours thread.

Again -- nobody's stopping you from proving us pro-listers wrong.  In fact, we 
enourage you to compete with us.  Have at it.
