Whoa, touched a nerve there. All I meant to convey was that OpenPBX is a
fork (it is) and it came about largely because of Digium's recitience to
change (it did). I didn't mean to say openpbx is crap (it's not) or openpbx
developers are buttheads (they aren't) and actually the personality comment
I directed at Digium and specifically Mark, who seems to have a 400lb
gorilla approach to new ideas (a good example: his hatred of XML has hobbled
the retarded Manager interface until finally XML support was added in 1.2 -
now Asterisk can communicate with heterogenus platforms and it is possible
to expose the Manager API with SOAP or XMLRPC or XML$FOO without a shim -
but apparently it was tough to convince Mark that this was a good way to go,
even though it was blatantly obvious that this was a good feature)

Sorry didn't mean to offend.
