Please expand as to how you set-up a SIP ATA behind a common home
router set-up, without port redirection and/or use of a SIP proxy
and/or STUN server? Unless the ATA has some sort of magic (e.g. VPN
support) it _cannot_ be done.

Top posting seems to be more popular due to use broken smart phone
MUAs that can't reply in-line. But if you have the means it should be
avoided for future reference and direct people to read the archives

You should care. Words like "ghetto", "your users", and using name
brands like Yugo in a pejorative way are all derogatory and may direct
the discussions on a personal level which should always be avoided. I
don't drive a Yugo but if I did I could easily be offended by the
pejorative use of the brand.

make it worthwhile we should all care about conserving netiquette.
