I think what really bothers me is that he's manipulating the listserv,
and all of its readers, by posting such a large advertisement in the
signature of his messages; we have to suffer it, and it also appears
in any archives for the listserv. Thereby giving the pyramid
scheme-esque hyperlinks credibility to search engine spiders, at the
expense of the credibility of the listserv itself. I think it is
extremely bad taste, regardless of what an RFC suggests.

I'm requesting that the list maintainers please set a policy against
these kinds of things, with banishment as punishment. Please, let's
keep this thing on target and useful for GNU/Linux conversations.
