Re: [Astlinux-users] Metrix Kit PBX I

[Mark P. <g7...@g7...>]

I believe that my "kickback" to the project is more than sufficient to
the extent that I feel I don't have to brag about it.

But if you really must know yes, monies have been exchanged as well as
advocacy, testing and other project notables.

My point here was not that people give of their monies etc but that they
feel that they feel they have to validate themselves. 

By advertising on ones site that you donate money back to the very
project you are trying to sell one undermines the very project itself.
It backs up the customers already shaky belief in the product. 

Just my opinion. Not meaning to start a flame war.

PS: has anyone seen my fireproof trousers?
