[App_rpt-users] Stepping on toes...

There have been discussion as to how to move forward. The people 
involved are the people that will do the work. We can not be "left 
behind" and the tools needed are available. app_rpt is Open Source, 
Asterisk is Open Source. The concepts and methods used by app_rpt are 
readily apparent. They can be re-created.

I think we have beaten the horse to death. An I owned a horse, so no one 
should take offense at as old adage.
