Would you sign up with a vendor who sends 1Mb of broken[1] PDFs to a mailing list? Let's agree to avoid this kind of hostile tone on-list, it's no way to have a discussion.
So if someone emails me and dozens (hundreds?) of others a large unsolicited binary file, we shouldn't challenge that in public in pretty strong terms? That seems nuts.
Whether or not the Linux Box folks can create a PDF has nothing to do with whether they can help me with my Koha system.
Perhaps, but I feel *how* they created the PDF (using non-free software to make an apparently non-standard file) and what they did with it (emailing it unsolicited to the list) might tell you something about how they would approach Koha support. LibLime might not care about keeping this user in the free software world, but I do! If someone wants on-site support, then it's going to limit the options, but I suspect BibLibre and Calyx as well as TTLLP are happy to accept international enquiries with remote support in general, so it puts my nose out a bit when a company not seen here recently uses someone not liking LibLime's prices as an excuse to mailbomb the list. Limes are not the only fruit. Or would you rather LinuxBox had work instead of koha-devel members for some reason?
