This thread was started by Daniel, looking for a survey software in Debian. Instead of helping him you took the opportunity to invite people to vote in your survey, completely unrelated to Debian. Hijacking a thread is considered rude and it doesn't help your cause because: 1. people will associate your cause with your rudeness 2. your invitation is buried in an unrelated thread in an unrelated list. IMVHO at the very least you should apologize to Daniel for making it impossible for him to get a solution for his problem in this thread. He will very likely have to start a new thread because of your actions. If you really insist on sending mails on unrelated topics please start a new thread with a relevant subject (including "[OT]") so that people who are not interested can ignore it easily. Beware though that it will very likely be classified as spam and you might be reported to the listmasters (if this didn't happen already), who could decide to ban you from Debian lists.
