(Commercial) Tux Sticker

[hui xu]

All,
 
I think that it is not a good way to forbid sending commercial email to LUG. Because some of these commercial email may be useful for us.
 
My suggestion is that we may need to create a new email list which is used for exchanging commercial information among members. such as exchange used computers or compents. If everybody agree, I would like to do it .
 
Best regards!
Louie

I think I must tell a little bit of my story.

I first send a post to the LUG of Québec (http://www.linux-quebec.org/),
since I live there, where it is written
(http://www.linux-quebec.org/mailman/listinfo/annonces) that a commercial
announce can be send if the word "COMMERCIAL" is written in the subject.

Following that post, someone put a story on several websites about 
"Linuxien-ienne, show your colors". That brings me a lot of traffic on my 
website.

Based on this experience, I started to post on differents LUG across the 
world, being afraid of what it is happening right now on this lug: being 
taxed of doing spam.

After a while, no one protested about my posts, so I continued to post on 
other LUG.

However, it is true that it is written onto your policy that " We condemn 
any unsolicited form of advertising. " That is my mistake. I should have 
read this before any post. From now on, I will read it before any post in 
a lug.

Please accept my apologies,

Miguel Tremblay

P.S. It is also right that I wrote "such a thing does'nt exists". This is 
not true, I should have said that I found no one on the Internet.
