First of all, what the heck is this link you referenced:<div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "> <a href="http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2010-April/247084.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204); ">http://lists.digium.com/<u></u>pipermail/asterisk-users/2010-<u></u>April/247084.html</a></span></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif">??????</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif">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</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif">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". </font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif">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.</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif">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.</font></div>

LOL...you are trying to change the subject. That's naive.<br>
<br>
You clearly know that I complained that there is no need for such drastic<br>
changes and long commands. The fact that it's written in CHANGES file or if<br>
there was a commit for it doesn't make it any better. Stop with the flawed<br>
reasoning.<br>
<br>
I am not going to complement your code or policies the whole time. Stop<br>
wishing for that. I like Asterisk and I will raise a voice when I feel<br>
uncomfortable with changes.<br>
<br>
All I am saying is that - Come up with a naming convention and for the sake<br>
of everyone stick to it. How hard could that be? Even with new features you<br>
can still stick to certain principles if you plan it ahead. If you don't<br>
know how to do it, ask the community for input and people will help.<br>

You do realize this change happen almost 3 years go, aprox Nov. 2008. There was a discussion about it at Astricon, on -dev mailing list, plus a code review on reviewboard[1]. Implying it did not happen is incorrect.<br>
<br>
You might not have know about it because your first post from <a href="mailto:bruceb444@gmail.com" target="_blank">bruceb444@gmail.com</a> seems to be Apr. 2010[2]. Community feedback was provided for the change, since it was driven by the community.<br>
<br>
If you don't like the change and want it reverted, simply load res_clialiases.so and edit cli_aliases.conf.<br>
<br>
Voicing your opinions is not a problem, however starting them with 'I don't mean to be rude but...' is not the best way to start them. If you want to help shape the future of Asterisk, I encourage you to join the discussion on the asterisk-dev mailing lists.<br>
<br>
Its open source software, everybody gets a say. It doesn't mean it will get done however.<br>
