Hi people,
Yes, I am not a bot, and I am deeply sorry to consider my Ubuntu
articles "spam". I thought it will be nice to inform users about what's
new in the Ubuntu world.
I will not post here anymore, if you guys don't want to see Softpedia
articles anymore.
Best regards,
Marius Nestor

I am not sure if this constitutes spam.
I can see 7 mails in my mailbox from this person and the person
never comes back for discussions. Just keeps posting self-articles
written. Doesn't this constitute blog-spam?
Secondly, the link provided does not link to the actual
announcement. Bad idea.
Original announcement:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2011-February/000141.html
Understanding the issue you raised i followed Marius Nestors trail to
some of his details.
here
http://news.softpedia.com/editors/browse/marius-nestor
His average article seems to be 3-4 a week - not all about Ubuntu but
almost all about Linux.
Its clear that he is posting new articles about "Ubuntu Linux" which
per se is list acceptable which also means that he is conscious about
what article goes to which list :-) , unless he has a way of filtering
articles to certain lists.
Yes this list isn't a replacement RSS feed - but as of now I am
personally ok receiving these ubuntu specific mails.
I agree with you (manish) on 2 points though
1, Not providing a link to the original is not a good idea - in fact
that would be the minimum we accept
2. technically his is not a blog - however it would not be good to
have bloggers post their articles - without ever participating in
other discussions. The list ain't a free advetisement boards
so if the real Marius nestor were to stand up and say hi, here i am
and i am not a bot it would be a good step.
