Hey, the major reason for my absence was / is *time*. So the more time 
investment I have to make, the less likely I am to speak up in the first place.

To be clear, 80% of my grievances with FreeSwitch have to do with the nature 
of their configuration and documentation. 9% had to do with a weird issue 
wherin we wound up rebooting the VM containing FS on a schedule; none of my 
instrumentation made it obvious what the nature of the leak was, but somehow 
rebooting the VM would resolve the issue. The remaining 1% was the difficulty in 
setting the thing up for anything but their preferred platform.
