Hi Fernando,

I applaud your decision to make it clear from the start that this was
an off topic post!

I get the strange feeling you are deliberately trying to sabotage
our efforts to make you a nominee!   But I will still vote for you
if you run.   If the answer is still no, we will all respect that.

Asking you not to make these posts is  a form of censorship I agree.
It's a request to ask you to live up to the agreement you made when
you signed on.  But is it against the spirit of freedom to make
agreements?

One point I want to make is that going through these posts consume
a lot of my time.  Multiplied by several thousand, an off topic
post infringes on a LOT of peoples time.
