You have a point, but i think he does too.  The posting looked to me to be
more of a sales-pitch than anything else.  Ad copy doesn't belong in here,
does it?  Even the BSDI notes about new versions that you see here, don't
sound like a straw-hat-and-cane routine.

I'd prefer seeing pointers to ads as a result of someone asking a
question.  That gives everyone a choice.
