Re: Why No Christmas Promo?

["Teodor Georgiev" <teodor planetsky com>]

absolutely correct  !!!

don't be just a "takers". Think a bit for the people who spend their time
and burn their eyes in developing the software
which all we use after for commercial purposes.
Let's suppose an ISP or an webhosting company running Linux and GPL
software. They have not paid a bloody dollar for it, but use it.
At the other hand, because they like so much the free software and services,
then WHY THEY DO NOT GIVE THEIR
SERVICES for free ????????????

Think a bit. And stop being "takers".
