[asterisk-users] Who is the "creative" mind behind changing Asterisk commands at CLI?

[Bruce B]

First of all, what the heck is this link you referenced:

 http://lists.digium.com/**pipermail/asterisk-users/2010-**April/247084.html<http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2010-April/247084.html>

??????

Secondly, an Asterisk 1.6.2.18 that I am running right now plays nicely with
"help" command. The 1.8 does do that. So, 1.6.2.18 has not been around for 3
years. Again, stop misleading and changing the subject. When you state 3
years ago that is absolutely false. In doesn't apply to any of the Asterisk
versions till 1.8xx

My post was very clear. Yes, it was sarcastic due to frustration but it was
very clear and I wanted to say that there is no need to do "core show help
sip" when you can simply do "help sip".

I still don't think your reply was called for. These trolls like I said help
you live through with your attitude. If you were my employee and talked like
this to anyone I would fire you right away.

I am asking you nicely to please stop making this about yourself or Digium.
Like I said, I like Asterisk. I love it. It works very good. Please listen
to the community feedback without getting so defensive. No one gains
anything from changes like this. I am sure Digium can afford one afternoon
meeting to decide what the commands naming convention should be for the next
20 years.
