Thanks, Jeff, my thoughts exactly. Instead we had a nearly content free plug for a commercial product on an FOSS user list. On the HBase lists to my knowledge this was the first, but I've been seeing such plugs for this particular commercial product frequently on various other Hadoop lists. Observing this is now equally predictable and annoying. I find such plugs to be nonresponsive to the concerns of FOSS users and a minor intrusion into our (FOSS) community. - Andy
