Well, I'll jump in too...

If I had to 'reload' my postfix server, or my dovecot server, or my 
samba server all the time, I'd be wondering what the heck is the PROBLEM 
that is causing me to have to constantly reload (or restart) them.

I agree that if there IS a problem with Asterisk that causes one to have 
to reload it often simply when making normal day-to-day changes (adding 
phones/users, etc), then I would certainly call that an Asterisk 
problem, but from what I've read, I don't think that is the case.

Still, I'm new, and haven't even installed Asterisk yet - I'm not a 
'phone' guy, and I've been driving my phone guy crazy trying to get him 
to start playing with it, so that we can start replacing our current 
system with it and some Polycom phones
