Hello Giovanni,

First of all, what makes you think I am not calm? :):) No matter what 
the context is, most of us expect basic courtesy from our peers in all 
our interactions. When such courtesy becomes rare, some people may react.

It is not a matter of civil rights. There is a story behind this. I've 
been treated badly when I raised questions in the past. We've argued 
with Tony about this in the past. He said pretty much the same thing to 
me as to Woody, that I was making money on his expense. A colleague of 
his even suggested to us that VoIP testing is tricky giving us the 
impression that it should probably not be done by us because we were 
idiots.

People in this list are still treated badly for asking the simplest of 
questions without being insulting or abusive in the slightest degree. 
This is just crazy!

So, do you think that performance questions should not be brought up in 
this list?

Or that they should be brought up only by some sort of gurus and not by 
any guy who just installed FS and tries to learn it?

Don't you wonder why the devs feel that FS performance is so touchy a 
subject?

Also, watch out because your post was probably longer than what the list 
maintainers prefer... They may tell you off. If they don't, then they 
just have double standards.

Rgds,
Vlasis.
