[SR-Users] [newbie] questions

Really?! Perhaps you could explain to me how exactly is the "you should 
get a consultant" comment on a routine set of questions I posted on a 
mailing list created for that very purpose - for Kamailio users like 
myself - anything other than a smart-arse reply?

Does it answer any of my queries? No!
Is it helping me in any way, shape or form? No (do you seriously think I 
haven't really thought of "getting a consultant" before posting my 
queries on this mailing list?)!
Does it provide any insight or fresh ideas on either what I want to 
achieve or the difficulties I am facing, given the problems I described 
earlier? No!
Does it contribute anything to the discussion on this mailing list, 
apart from wasting my own time and bandwidth so that I have to enlighten 
smart sparks like the previous poster as well as yourself? No!

I didn't ask for "fundamental guidance" or "pedagogical surveys". I 
asked to be pointed in the right direction where I could get (further) 
help. I did not force anyone to answer, let alone come up with "gems" 
like the one I commented on in my previous post.

I'd say it again though - this thread is for me to seek 
answers/advice/help/guidance - if you, the previous poster, or anyone 
else for that matter is unwilling or unable to provide one, then just 
move along - there is nothing to see here. Smart-arse comments like "get 
a consultant" isn't what I am looking for, nor is the reason for 
starting this thread on this mailing list.
