Generally I don't like to get involved but I "did" change the URL for the "Zaptel 1.2.8, Asterisk-Addons 1.2.4 and Asterisk 1.2.11 have been released"  to call attention to this obvious advertising to his site by adding Daily Asterisk News" and the fact that he posted it when obviously Asterisk.org is the correct url: http://www.asterisk.org/node/101

 To be perfectly honest this was personal because of certain comments made to me by Mr. Riddell.  I think that seeing the above post was the tipping point.  I apologize if anyone else was offended and I am refraining from ever doing that again.  I do this site for my love of Asterisk and VoIP technology.  I would also like to add that Mr. Riddell is correct about Sineapps being ad-free but I would have to say his "asterisk consulting" business most likely pays the "bills". Asterisk VoIP News is ad-supported and thankfully pays for it's hosting.  Thanks for you support.

Well I for one have way too many more tasks to do than go back and forth.  If I am not doing anything for Asterisk than our traffic logs must be lying.  It's funny how Matt asks about "has Dal done anyhting for Asterisk"?  Personally I think if you have following this site for the last 19 months than you would see AVN is just another source to get information about the entire Asterisk Family.  Well this seem time better than any to announce that I will be starting a Asterisk Self-Help and Common Issuse article series continung from where we left off. (Voicemail.conf I think??).  If anyone would like to submit ideas or draft aritcles please contact me (email addy below).  To close, I am not going to deny that when I was first learning to blog I didn't know proper online etiquette.  Everyone have a great day and please feel free to interact with the site or tell me if something is missing.
