Personally I would like to hear about the products and services that people / organisations on the forum have to plug and about whatever they are working on. I would have a little more faith and recourse with such a product or service than some random finding on the web.
Perhaps once a month the forum moderators could declare <ShamelessPlugDay> and of course some time later </ShamelessPlugDay> ? Wouldn’t most people have some interest in this or curiosity at least?

It could easily be considered to be on topic. Since you are in the business of comedy, please share where you perform so those inclined can come and watch your show. :) Oh, and Jason is in Perth, not UK. I suspect his email address is a hangover from having lived there few years ago. Let me tell you, if *I* had a Pluralsight course available you'd never hear the bloody end of it.

Not that it really bothers me in this instance, as it’s not completely out of nowhere and it is just one email. But WT’s call is fair enough too. If you choose to resort to spam to get the word out for whatever you’re trying to flog, you need to accept the bad will that comes with it. Since you are in the business of charity, let share where you spend your lunch times so those so inclined can best co-ordinate their cardboard signs.

Personally, I think if someone in our community produces anything they are proud of and want to share with us, they should be encouraged. If said emails were to become a regular thing then you could politely ask them to stop (off list preferably). Since you are in the business of begging, could you please make yourself a cardboard sign or something so we can all give you free stuff as we pass you in the street.
