No hostility, at least not in the original discussions with Doug. No
diatribe, either. I simply asked him a question, if the continued
effort was worth his time, since he was having continued problems,
over time, on something that he obviously needed. If you saw it as
hostility, that was not my intention. So I am sorry about that.

Again, you misunderstand. I said I have done things that way, and come
to the conclusion that *sometimes* there are better ways, than just
continuing down the same path the same way. I asked/suggested/wondered
if this might be the same with Doug - that there were better ways,
since he seems to have continued problems doing it the way he has been
doing it.

And that's it. Nothing more, nothing less (at least, not with Doug).
As I said to him, if it seemed otherwise, that was not my intention.
You sure seemed to jump on me, tho. And I suppose I jumped back. And
so I am sorry I jumped on you.

So, I will rephrase - perhaps Doug should consider another approach to
solving his problem (which is that he needs a PBX that works the way
he wants). If he chooses to continue on with his current setup, that's
fine. If he chooses to consider a different approach, that, too, is
fine. Doug should do what is best for Doug. I was offering
alternatives. Obviously, my offering was seen/came across as more
than/different from what I intended. Sorry for the dust-up.

I hope Doug gets his problems resolved in whatever way makes Doug
happiest. I assume that's what you want, too. And so, back to other
Linux-related stuff ...

I couldn't understand your attitude.
I only wanted to take a photograph of you,
But I was shocked when I heard what you had to say.
You picked up my camera, threw it away,
I didn't really mean to ruin your day.
