I don't know about anyone else, but I am getting a little uncomfortable
with your posts (to RT-Users and to the Wiki) being little more than an
advert for proxmox rather than a real contribution to the community.

I'm not saying I don't want you mentioning it, but I personally would
appreciate it if you could tone down the advertising.
