David,

I've emailed you off-list to respect the integrity of the person who approved our request, I'm not in business to "name and shame".

Please keep further correspondence off-list, as previously requested.

Regards,
Matthew

Excuse me, may I ask who approved this as content suitable for this list?  Who at AusNOG did you contact?  I have certainly never been contact in regard to this.

Please refrain from sending any further advertising or "press releases" to this list.  This has absolutely no operational merit.

But if an early resistance to this kind of blatant self-promotion isn't found, then we risk having the list we all love so much slowly turn into yet another marketing communications platform. So I ask, respectfully (as a list member, not a moderator), that you refrain from making these sorts of announcements on list.
