This should be required reading before posting questions to the list:
+1 - this is actually very handy
This is a better response to my email than I was expecting. I worried that people would think I was grumbling about nothing. The truth is, the mailing list archives is one of the best sources of information about FreeSWITCH. This valuable resource gets diluted with noise threads where people ask questions that a quick google would resolve. The other aspect that has me thinking about participation on the list is, the value of the audience's time. I thought I hear that there were 6,000 people on this list. If everyone takes 30 seconds to read a single lame question, that's 50 hrs of time spent. The best way you can show you respect your peers and the value they bring to the community is to not waste their time. Anyway, friends, I'm done ranting for a bit :) Again, thanks to everyone who makes community participation so valuable! Kind regards, Gabe
