If you're ignoring users' digital freedom simply because you want to 
make money, take your advertising somewhere else, because this is 
clearly not the place for it. I'm sure there are a lot of free software 
mailing lists where people straight up wouldn't care, but this is not 
one of them.

Of course, maybe I've misunderstood the purpose of this list. If so, I 
invite dissent!
