Self-promotion??? I generally dislike inserting myself personally into Smalltalk advocacy. My campaign is all about Smalltalk; I'm just the vehicle. If you're referring to my comment "at the risk of sounding immodest," I am rightfully proud of my video. It does a damn good job of promoting Pharo. Beyond that, however, I don't ever want this campaign to be about me. So what self-promotion are you referring to? As for "content-free," the video is good content, at least, from the perspective of marketing. Of course, you wouldn't think it was valid content if you don't believe in marketing Pharo, a sentiment that I think is unfortunately shared by many in this forum. Pierce Ng-3 wrote

MAYBE we need another list...

Maybe Richard just needs to adjust the style of his mails...

This is getting ridiculous!  The guy spends energy, time, effort and is able to gather 13K in prizes and puts Pharo to the forefront with this cool contest in schools, makes a lot of youngsters learn & use Pharo for their projects, puts up a website, makes videos, writes blog posts, PROMOTES Pharo and he gets slapped for posting here ?!?!  WTF ???

Like if the subject of Richard's mail is "Pharo success story part 3: blah blah" and his opening paragraph is descriptive, similar to what you wrote above, I'd read the mail and watch the video. As it is, his mail is content-free and comes across purely as self-promotion.
