[Xitami] ProtoNova v1.0 Released! (And a XiFusion note)

[TW]

I am quite upset with the ongoing advertisements of this person on the 
xitami list the latest even for commercial products. IMHO this is  a 
violation of the commonly accepted netiquette. Therefore I suggest to the 
admin of the list to ban him from the list.

BTW,
if someone else missed a disclosure appropriate to a serious commercial 
site like shininglightpro on that site, here's a starter
Hruska, Thomas

Shining Light Productions
