I think that the chance to learn is a good thing. We do have an
unposted list policy against commercial solicitation, which this seemed
to be. It does beg the question, though, about my own emails regarding
HOSEF which, I sometimes fear, border on spam. I justify it because it
is a charitable non-profit promoting Open Source, but ....
Once I followed the link to this workshop, I will say that I was
dismayed by the self-promotion of the speaker and the heavy corporate
sponsorship. They really don't need our donated bandwidth and
equipment for their promotion, do they?

Can you believe I was actually considering bringing DoE staff to this?
What was I thinking! Someone should 505 the poster indefintely from
the
list server.

Is it the content or presentation that is bothering people?
Even though the workshop costs money, it is an outlet to learn.
But I don't want X emails a day touting some workshop or
other. They compete with all the important Viagra and penis-enlargement
material I'm getting.
I don't think I would have flinched if it had just come once. But
twice is
hard sell.
