So if it were for a free blowjob for anyone programming in mysql,
under your interpretation, it'd be ok since it's free?

Because you ignored this:
Posting of advertising and/or promotional material of any kind to
comp.databases.mysql is explicitly prohibited.
It followed that which you quoted above. Meaning, of course, it
further refined the first statement. The charter was carefully
crafted and discussed before the group was created. People here know
how to go to sourceforge on their own and find things that are of
meaning to them. They don't need it promoted in this technical forum.
You want adverts? Create an alt group.
In a nutshell, it was promotional material. It was off charter. Whine
away, it'll do you no good. It was off charter. Period.
Oh, and btw, your stupid newsreader is putting spaces between the news
groups in the Newsgroups line in violation of RFC. (Just so you know.
That's obviously not off charter. :)
