Hi guys, galls.
A friend of mine has a start-up called brickeffects. This is a service
where you can up upload a CAD model of anything
(toy cars, penguins, mickey mouse etc). What you get is the prescription
how build the model out of Lego bricks. And you get the bricks
themselves by mail delivery!!
This may seem off-topic, but I thought since many of you might be makers
this interests you.
Their campaign is at
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1124674706/brickeffects-create-your-in…
Have fun building,
Gerald/ JimsonDrift

This doesn't just "seem off-topic", this is off-topic and is a blatant spam
message. Please, do not post anything like this again.

I am by no means a spammer. I am a long time resident on this list and
never posted anything like this here.
I am not getting any revenue from brickeffects even though the CEO is a
friend.
He just asked me to forward the message to people who might be
interested. And I would post it if I had no connection to the CEO since
I happen to find the project really cool. I don't consider this spam
since it comes the heart.
If you are not interested, fine.
But maybe others on this list are, just like others share stuff that
interests them. Yes most of the posts are music-related.
However it doesn't harm this list if non music related news is shared
from time to time.
It prevents narrow-sight ;)

Hey Gerald!
Let's go through your arguments.
"I happen to find the project really cool. I don't consider this spam since
it comes the heart."
I have never seen spam or even advertising being defined as not coming from
the heart. I am sure many advertisements are made by people who truly
believe that the products they advertise are great. Their messages are
still advertisements.
I also don't consider advertising to be inherently bad or unnecessary. But
it has to be present only at spots where people have specifically agreed to
display it. I don't remember a LAU mailing list rule that says "Please feel
free to post messages about your friends' Kickstarter campaigns or other
messages, unrelated to Linux Audio". If such a rule is there, please point
me to it.
"If you are not interested, fine."
I am glad you approve.
"But maybe others on this list are, just like others share stuff that
interests them. Yes most of the posts are music-related."
Not most. *All* of the posts on this list are related to Linux Audio
software and music produced with such software. This is the first time in
all the years I'm on this list that I see someone posting an unrelated
message and then even defending their right to do so "from time to time".
"However it doesn't harm this list if non music related news is shared from
time to time. It prevents narrow-sight ;)"
I disagree. Maybe someone has a problem with "narrow-sight", but I have
many informational channels apart from this mailing list and I believe my
interests in life are varied enough to not require people to push their
friend's kickstarters to me though thematic mailing lists.
Again - this mailing list is there to share and inform on LAU related
items. Anything else should not be posted.
In fact, I am astonished that none of the admins of the list have spoken
out.
p.s.: your friends Kickstarter is nice, but you are doing his project a
disservice. Even if I was interested, I would probably not support it after
your behavior.

Well basically there are no admins that monitor the Linux Audio mailing
lists from a moderator point of view. The lists have proven to be pretty
self-regulating so far.

And I guess we've just proven it, hehe.
Please note that I also did not call Gerald a spammer, instead I called the
messages to be spam. This is really not the same thing.

Its so much better to have a discussion with 9 (!!) Mails on this list
than ignoring one. But luckily there are pretty wise and adult

I've known you as a responsible member of this list for many years and I
don't consider you a spammer.
However, in order to avoid unfriendly responses perhaps you should add
the [OT] marker to your subject to indicate its off-topic nature.

Hi Dave, yes thats a good idea. I'll try to remember that if I (ever)
post an OT message again.

Gerald, I apologize if I was overly aggressive. I was for some reason
really annoyed by the message and by the fact that it literally had nothing
to do with the topic.
However, I stand by my message and personally would not want to see any
messages of that sort again. If the Kickstarter is at least topic related -
sure, why not.

This is not Facebook. Feel free to post whatever gives you
a warm feeling there, even if it has no relation to reality.
Here you message just promotes an irrelevant commercial product,
and that *is* spam.
