Clinton: Why do you think we should not encourage people who come here and only post commercials? Please explain.
I assume (perhaps, incorrectly) that this list is a list for enthusiasts who share a love for the GNU/Linux OS and would like to help other who aspire to use it. It is a place of exchange of information and, sometimes, wisdom. I would hate for it to be tainted with stupid commercials in large quantities. Again I clarify, I feel it is OK if people who are genuine member to sell stuff sometimes, but am against people who come here *only* for that purpose.

Clinton: What do you second? quasi asked the moderator(s) to do the needful. Are you comfortable seconding an action left to the discretion of someone else without even knowing what that action will be? :P
I asked the moderators(s) to do the needful knowing not what the action would be. Someone else seconded the idea because he saw the issue in the same light. We have unbounded faith in our moderators, it seems... '-)
Hmmm ... sometimes, the way people make decisions, really surprises me. :)
a lot of things in this world are surprising... and it is a good thing, isnt it? Else life would be so boring...
