I'd have to disagree. Gmail invitations are kind of coveted right now, and I think Jeff was trying to do a nice thing my passing them out to his friends and those who have helped him.
Here is the official guide: http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/ When using the Debian mailing lists, please follow these rules:
Do not send spam; see the advertising policy below.
Debian mailing list advertising policy
This policy is intended to fight mailing-list "spamming".
The Debian mailing lists accept commercial advertising for payment. The fee for advertisments is a donation of USD 1000 or more to "Software in the Public Interest" (SPI). One donation per advertisement, please. If you prefer to pay in arrears, simply post your advertisement to the list, and the list operator will bill you USD 1999. The list operator will donate this amount, minus the expense of collecting it, to SPI. Please note that the lists are distributed automatically -- messages are generally not read or checked in any way before they are distributed.
The act of posting an advertisement indicates your willingness to accept responsibility for the fee,
indemnify the list operator against any legal claims from you or others in connection with your advertisement, and
pay any legal and business expenses incurred in collecting late payment.
Our liability to you is limited to a good-faith effort to deliver your message.
Reduced rates and/or waiver of fee are available for Debian-related advertisements. You must consult the list operator in advance of posting for any reduction or fee waiver.
I'm sure that [EMAIL PROTECTED] has advice on payment of the advertising fee.
btw Have you read the gmail privacy policy closely? At least in its original terms it was quite objectionable.
