Self-promotion??? I generally dislike inserting myself personally into Smalltalk advocacy. My campaign is all about Smalltalk; I'm just the vehicle.
If you're referring to my comment "at the risk of sounding immodest," I am rightfully proud of my video. It does a damn good job of promoting Pharo. Beyond that, however, I don't ever want this campaign to be about me. So what self-promotion are you referring to? As for "content-free," the video is good content, at least, from the perspective of marketing. Of course, you wouldn't think it was valid content if you don't believe in marketing Pharo, a sentiment that I think is unfortunately shared by many in this forum.
