FW: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Users

[Aaron Daniel]

I see your reasoning on that one.  Perhaps it is best to leave the 
information about the asterisk-users list so they can contact us.  I'm 
just worried about the idea that people aren't going to want to subscribe 
to a 4000 message a month list just to find out about a system. 
Especially with the emails that come through here, setting up the system 
will seem pretty daunting, probably even discouraging.  Any ideas on that?
