14 You seem to be evidently void of any sense of relevance and proportionality.
15 This is a 'gentoo-user' mailing list intended to serve the needs of
16 gentoo-users; specific support and discussion needs which are relevant to the
17 Gentoo meta-distribution. Had you been around for any length of time you
18 would have observed the fact that "off-topic" on this list is invariably
19 still relevant to IT, computers, Linux and related topics.

21 After many people told you that your topic is considered irrelevant spam for
22 this list and that you are consuming unnecessary bandwidth, you continue to
23 annoy with your persistence to spam. Exhibiting a messianic zeal for a good
24 cause in this inappropriate way, has ended up causing a disservice to an
25 otherwise laudable cause. Your ends do not justify your means and in this
26 case label you as fanatic idiot - because you have no sense of relevance,
27 proportionality and respect for your audience.

29 Couldn't you just find a *suitable* ML to raise your issue and leave us alone?
