<RANT> Funny your concerned about copyrights and moral issues regarding the work of others. One question you may want to ask YOURSELF is: Why would I use as my email a copyrighted work followed by the name of the Company that owns the copyright??? asteriskdigum@yahoo.com, Come on!! Who are you trying to fool? Are you out for the fast buck, by having someone that thinks you work for Digium hire you??? This is the same as using windowsmicrosoft@gmail.com, or supoprtcisco@gmail.com. Many people on the list may be able to look past the email as see that you are an: 1 individual that understands asterisk and digium hardware 2 just happens to have an email account at Yahoo. But many will not. If you are only using the email for the list you should have used an email that reflects that, Not an email that would server only to confuse. I would be more concerned with the bad 'vibe' of your funky email address than anything else. </rant> Goong back to your question, I would add at the top of stuff you 'save' on your server, the original URL of the site it was found. That why you can give proper credit to the source. Many sites, disappear for various reasons, that's why I have a 'cache' of those sites. Voip-info being the first. I try to keep the diretory structure I get from wget so I know where it came from.> asteriskdigium@yahoo.com once wrote: > -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com > [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of > Dovid Bender > Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2006 1:18 PM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Gen.

To reply to your rant the reason why I got this account is because I am out of the US (in the us for lists i used asterisk AT Dovid DOT net for the biz list asteriskusers AT dovid DOT net for users list etc). Here where I am I only have access to yahoo. I needed a name that I could remember and would not forget (I tend to forget the names to accounts that I create). So I figured I would make it asteriskdigium so I would not forget it. Anyone on this list would know that I do not work for asterisk or digium. In fact I tried to get just asterisk@yahoo.com but it was already taken. --- Alexander Lopez <alex.lopez@opsys.com> wrote:> <RANT> > Funny your concerned about copyrights and moral > issues regarding the > work of others. > > One question you may want to ask YOURSELF is: > > Why would I use as my email a copyrighted work > followed by the > name of the Company that owns the copyright??? > > asteriskdigum@yahoo.com, Come on!!
