Shane,

Posts like the one that you made to the linux-india-general mailing list
are generally considered to be of a commercial nature.  The linux-india
mailing lists are not against commercial postings.  However, we require
that people label their commercial posts with a 'COMMERCIAL' tag on the
subject.

BTW, pass my regards to Frank Hecker.
