DID YOU MAKE YOUR DONATION THAT IS REQUIRED TO POST ADVERTISEMENTS LIKE
THIS ON
DEBIAN MAILING LISTS??????
In case you forgot about it Let me reiterate it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mailing list advertising policy
This policy is intended to fight mailing-list "spamming".
The Debian Linux mailing lists accept commercial advertising for
payment. We offer a fee waiver if you can show us the canceled check for
a $1000 (U.S.) or more donation to
"Software in the Public Interest" (SPI). One donation per advertisement,
please. If you don't wish to donate, simply post your advertisement to
the list, and the operator of the mailing
lists will bill you $1999 (U.S). The list operator will donate this
amount, minus the expense of collecting it, to SPI. Please note that the
lists are distributed automatically - messages are
generally not read or checked in any way before they are distributed.
By the act of posting your advertisement you agree to accept
responsibility for the fee, you agree to indemnify the mailing-list
operator against any legal claims from you or others in
connection with your advertisement, and you agree to pay any legal and
business expenses incurred in collecting late payment. Our liability to
you is limited to a good-faith effort to
deliver your message.
Reduced rates and/or waiver of fee are available for Debian-related
advertisements. You must consult the mailing-list operator in advance of
posting for any reduction or fee waiver.

Sounds Like a pyrmid scheme in deguise the only reason it would not be
technically
is because of some stupid legalisee loophole.
