This is a very strange email.

Is this supposed to be an advertisement?

I think so, and we might need to remind the original poster about
advertising on this list.

Sorry about that.  I was trying to gauge the usefulness of the PGCon hacking lounge since it was first added to the
schedulein 2012. 

It seems it goes unused, and I was trying to see if anyone found it useful in the past.  At BSDCan, for example, you
canfind people there every night discussing and working.  Or perhaps just socializing.  It's a major gathering point. 

If there is interest, we'll retain for 2015, but it seems best to remove it from the schedule.

I apologize for the appearances.  I hope the followup I just sent clarifies the issue.

The community email lists are not to be used for your conference to
gauge interest in something --- you should be using your own conference
email list to do that.  (In fact, I just unsubscribed from that
conference announce list because it was sending me too many
uninteresting emails, so I know the list exists.)

Yes, just worded badly.

Announcing "I'm offended" is basically telling the world you can't
control your own emotions, so everyone else should do it for you.
