Jason, If I understand you correctly, you're referring to a thread <http://search-lucene.com/m/iMCFOqzcmS1/%22Performance+Monitoring+SaaS+for+Solr%22/v=threaded> in which you objected to a commercial tagline.
At the time that thread was active, I didn't agree with you, though I didn't engage in the conversation. Here's why I didn't (and still don't) agree: 1. taglines are short; 2. they always *follow* on-topic discussion, and web page ads, Google search results and Android apps, following in the long tradition of print periodical practice, have taught me to accept -- and mostly ignore -- commercials on the margins of digital content; and 3. the line is blurry, e.g. nobody will object to including one's employer in a tagline. And to follow up on your point about fairness in application of Lucene's (no-it's-not-written-down-and-no-we're-never-going-to-write-it-down-either) commercial message policy, I'll echo Ted's observation that some commercial messages (depending on content, tone and context) are acceptable.
