[asterisk-users] When someone helps you, at least let them know if the problem is resolved or not

Thu May 12 03:00:35 CDT 2011

But it is all true.  Don't rage on me if you are upset by my
accomplishments.

It was to establish the conditions I work under and the fact that I can and
do solve almost all of my setbacks myself in very disparate setups, from
VSAT, poorest countries in the world, war, explosions, getting shot at.  I
was there when the Ministry of Justice was bombed.

I try everything under the sun and logically work out the the issue and get
the job done.  I have never expected someone to feed me the answers with a
silver spoon.  I am way too old school for that.

To be honest, the list didn't help me very much except to the extent that I
had to breakdown the problem and what was tried in words.  Generally, after
hitting send and re-reading my question, I answered it myself.  It was the
act of verbalizing and defining the problem rather than having it be
something abstract in my mind.

I don't try to tell people what to do about posting the "solution"  It's all
on the wheel, it all comes around.

Don't hate. and don't let people live rent free in your head.

Was all of this rage and hate necessary?

Did I insult you in some way?  I don't think I did any name calling or
hating.

Again, if you are depressed or feel like you want to hurt yourself or
others, commit yourself, get help, the world will still be here when you are
better able to deal with it.

Don't lie to yourself and others, this was never meant to be "this was
intended as a bit of fun"  BS.
