Except openSUSE is not your personal advertising site. If openSUSE had some banner ad's or a designated space for text ad's, I'd be okay with you advertising here - paying for advertising, supporting the project, and not spam. What you've said is not a link to a commercial back end, but, imho, damn near whoring. Joseph M.
