I really hope this sort of blase attitude doesn't become the norm. Matthew's right - we have so much advertising invading everything we do, it detracts from focusing on what we need to do. If we encourage this one instance, it sets a precedence for more advertising to invade the list. How do we say no to the next little advert? There really can be no grey line. This list is about solving problems with fedora and its already voluminous enough as it is. Let your mates know, or post to appropriate places where those of us who are looking for these sorts of deals will ordinarily go to, sure. But here it detracts from the nature of the list. I for one enjoy a haven free from outside influence and advertising where we can discuss exactly the problems I signed up to the list for.
