When Mark started Asterisk as an open source project, one of his first means of promotion and support was to begin a mailing list.  From that humble list grew a number of other lists:  -dev, -announce, -commits, -biz, and about a dozen others.  Of them, the most frequented is the -users list.

Head on over to the list archives.  What do you notice?  You see that there have been postings made for a date that doesn’t yet exist, May of 2016.  Wow, that’s a long time off.

It means that their e-mail clients are misconfigured.  And, that once upon a time, way back in 2003, someone posted a message dated November of 2007.  And, for four long years that poor little message stayed by itself at the top of the archives, until this month.

So, it’s with a fond, reminiscent *sniffle* that I ponder these past four years.  New building, approximately 110 new employees, and a completely different VoIP and TDM marketplace.
