Jon,
being "attuned to open source" has nothing to do with scolding posters of spam.
Look at the motivations and actions and you'll see that.

And as I mentioned elsewhere, announcing PEAR DBMS in the oracle marketplace group is likely off topic too. It would be equivalent to posting ads for DB/2 in the oracle marketplace group.

There are charters that define the topic areas for groups in the main groups. It may be time for all of us to reread them and see what belongs and what doesn't.
