I'm quite comfortable with people talking about other products/approaches on
the list. Even if that seems to be their only contribution to the group.
I'm not at all comfortable with people using list membership to email people
off list. This has nothing to do with open source software specifically,
this would be the case for any mailing list I'm on (eg my local cinema club;
if someone started mailing me directly about things on at another cinema,
I'd feel that was an abuse of the list). I would expect the list owner to
warn them against it, and, if they continued, boot them off.
