Fine but ... the message which Sthitaprajna and others got was apparently
to a list of LI-* members, all cc'd. It was not sent (as should have been
done) to the list with an announce: and/or commercial: prefix to the

GT Enterprises did the same thing you gentlemen did - on a much larger

They ended up with a rep as spammers.
Spam= Unsolicited Copmmercial and/or Bulk email. It is irrelevant whether
the content is free linux or free XXX
