Hi Richard, I’d like to invite you to refrain yourself from posting such off-topic messages in the future.
This list is for people to *ask* questions about Pharo. Not to diffuse any kind of propaganda (pharo related or not). You’re not asking a question about Pharo, nor answering a question about Pharo. So I personally find all these emails off-topic and uninteresting. I have the feeling this list has been lately flooded with such off-topic messages. And this only chases off this list people really interested about the main topic of the list (like me). Maybe this shows this competition / PR campaign you’re running needs another channel? I know you don’t agree, but I invite you to read here the **purpose** of this list, just for respect to people subscribed to it: https://lists.pharo.org/mailman/listinfo/pharo-users_lists.pharo.org Thanks for your comprehension, Guille > El 8 feb 2020, a las 23:33, horrido <horrido.hobb...@gmail.com> escribió: > > So this forum is only for Pharo newcomers who have questions?
