I agree Nick.
The dividing line, I believe, is whether it's on-topic.
A problem with the "OSS ethos" is that people think that any
commerce is bad.
I believe that people should be encouraged to earn a living from our favourite operating system and Open Source, and the easiest way to do that is flogging hardware.
I know that I am now likely to buy a Digital Camera from Jason (if I buy one at all)
If however he starts "spamming" the list that may change ;-)

well as i said its a matter of degree, I don't find Jason's posts offensive, but I'm sure there are other views, like yours. I find jason's posts to be largely helpful, the plug is usually in the context "i know this works because i sell them"
YMMV.
