| I would not be that hard.

| I think political support is essential for the free software movement.

Volunteers is tolerable, campaign donations is an entirely different ballgame.
Especially since on one hand they're not taking donations from 'special
interest groups.' The "Free Software Movement" is a special interest group,
if they don't support special interest groups then they don't support you.

I do. One time announcements belong on mailing-lists like zope-announce, or
zope-chat. We have enough people who rouse when stuff is off topic 
(like this whole thread, and I do apologise for continuing it),
without the introduction postings about stuff that is completely and 
totally unrelated.
