What I meant is that the limitation is probably worse than that
particular abuse. Also, Magnus confirms that after that, the way events
are shown has been changed.

I'd agree to limit invasive submissions (such as emails and home page
communications), but frankly I still believe that the current limitation
is obsolete and probably also damaging.

However, in case you probably missed that part in my email, I came with
a proposal of 10 courses per month per organisation. A high number, but
still a upper limit.

In Italy there is a saying: "Fatta la legge, trovato l'inganno" ( every
law has a loophole). I think we are better off using our time and energy
in positive activities, and helping healthy, dynamic and active
companies promote Postgres through training.

Also, who is willing to go and check if an event is really an abuse? How
would you judge that?

Thank you.

Ciao,
Gabriele
