Any email sent to a list is "bulk". And I didn't, in any way, solicit this
Emma Watson bs, nor your pleas for funding or support. The very least you
could do, out of common courtesy (I really hope you know what that is) is
mark your email as offtopic, you know, like everyone in every other LUG
does, with the [OT] marker in the subject? This way I, and anyone else not
interested in anything but the technology this list is about, can filter it
out, and let you keep spamming those who are for some reason interested.

As soon as a list(/community/forum/etc) turns into an offtopic promoting
medium, the useful and productive community members leave. I've managed
enough forums to see that happen.

Nothing is vague here. This is off topic, your stories aren't interesting,
aren't funny and would not belong in a LUG, even if they were.

Job offers at least, are related to the tech that this list is there to
discuss. I'm not saying everything has to be about technology, but what you
are posting is utterly elsewhere.
