[cisco-voip] Off Topic: Thank you GMail

[Tech Guy]

Hope I am not breaking some rule some where, but I have to say
something.  Does anyone else use gmail and find that it is absolutely
the best thing when it comes to mailing lists?  For the first time in
some 10+ years of being on different mailing lists it is so manageable
now.

Not trying to push gmail, but just a little off topic conversation if
you will.  I have only been subscribed to this cisco-voip list for a
couple of weeks, and already I find this to be one of the most
valuable technical resources I have used in a very long time.

VoIP if only about 4 years old to me, I come from a lan/wan routing
switching background, at my job if Cisco makes it and we want or need
it, then I become the person to be in charge of it.  So when we were
looking into VoIP solutions and turned to Cisco then I became a voice
guy.  I had no experience what so every with voice or legacy pbx or
anything.  Only time I dealt with telco was for data circuits.  My how
things have changed, now voice consumes 85% of what I do as the data
side is fairly constant and unchanging in our environment.  However
everyone increasingly wants and expects more and more value added
services and features from the voice and video side of things.

Anyway, great list, love the help given me so far, and sorry for going
off topic.
