Exaggeration is not a lie, especially in the context of /marketing/. We've all seen marketing campaigns on television, in social media and magazines. They all contain exaggerations and half-truths. You don't seem to understand what marketing is all about. Pavel Krivanek-3 wrote

So this forum is only for Pharo newcomers who have questions? Seems rather limiting.
When I join other language forums, I look for information about the language I'm investigating as a newcomer. This can include the language's capabilities, limitations, real-world usage, new tools, philosophical basis, and so on. General information across a broad spectrum of topics.
And, yes, even trivia and factoids that I might find interesting. I appreciate that you don't find this interesting, but other forum visitors may.
If the Pharo users forum wants to, it could do something as draconian as StackOverflow does: put a tight leash on submitted questions and boot out everybody who doesn't comply. This is one reason I don't go to StackOverflow very often â they aren't welcoming to people who just want to learn general things.
I've told my readers that the Pharo users forum is welcoming. Please don't make a liar out of me.
We do not need to make a liar out of you. See your old e-mails:
*So, is Pharo being used to fight Ebola? Not exactly, but who cares? I'mtrying to change people's perception. I'm trying to *move* them. If I haveto exaggerate, I will do so.Has everybody heard of Smalltalk? Of course not. And it doesn't matter. I'mtaking /literary licence/. As a writer and a marketer, I am allowed to dothis.*

Hi Richard,
Iâd like to invite you to refrain yourself from posting such off-topic messages in the future.
This list is for people to *ask* questions about Pharo. Not to diffuse any kind of propaganda (pharo related or not). Youâre not asking a question about Pharo, nor answering a question about Pharo. So I personally find all these emails off-topic and uninteresting.
I have the feeling this list has been lately flooded with such off-topic messages. And this only chases off this list people really interested about the main topic of the list (like me).
Maybe this shows this competition / PR campaign youâre running needs another channel? I know you donât agree, but I invite you to read here the **purpose** of this list, just for respect to people subscribed to it: https://lists.pharo.org/mailman/listinfo/pharo-users_lists.pharo.org < https://lists.pharo.org/mailman/listinfo/pharo-users_lists.pharo.org>;
Thanks for your comprehension, Guille

I'm actually quite amazed by their effort. They surpassed my expectations.
At the risk of sounding immodest, I think this is a terrific way to promote Smalltalk (Pharo). I think the video is an absolute blast.
