It's quite irrelevant how on-topic or helpful your other posts were
or how many posts Alan has made.  Posting news from Hungary about
Microsoft is not on topic here (and no, add [OT] won't make it alright
to post it).

Fine, then please post this to a list for "involved persons" (as I'm
sure many of those subscribed here are not such persons).  This
list is for Fedora users to get help running or installing Fedora.
See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate for the description.
