Hmm, not sure I agree with that. I see the issues at hand as being (a) gratuitously pushing a product/service/group that has no relevance in the current context and (b) not clearly specifying that you get paid for peddling that item, whatever it is. And if the latest (proprietary) product that Mr Singh mentioned turns out to be a Sun product, I'll request the list admin to moderate his postings until he (Angad) clearly understands that this is not a medium for marketing proprietary crap from anyone, be it Sun, IBM, RH or MS. I personally have no issues with discussion on any FOSS product or activity on this list, but it's up to the list managers and ILUGD office-bearers to define the scope within which we operate here :) I do believe we've outgrown just Linux as an objective and can calmly and reasonably discuss other FOSS alternatives, provided there's no vested interests involved. BTW, my Premier and my Contessa outrank your Amabssador. <g,d&r> Regards, -- Raju -- Raj Mathur [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F PsyTrance & Chill: http://schizoid.in/ || It is the mind that moves _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
