Agreed. For example, this would have been perfectly acceptable
as part of the announcement of the JIIT software freedom
celebrations. By the way, it is good to see other people doing
such FOSS events.

Excuse me? I can indeed be caustic at times, but maybe you can
use your alkali detector to point out how this was the case here.
I am also perfectly serious about temporary moderation on first
offence in such cases. This is standard policy on other lists,
and, in my opinion, is essential to try and stop the onslaught
of unethical companies, like Orkut and Silicon India,
masquerading as social networking sites.
