This is dead serious.

Do you find the idea of funding Common Lisp Open Source abhorrent? Because that is the primary focus of my work and my life.

Do you think this would have more intrinsic value if someone else promoted it for me? And I have never understood the hate against relevant self-promotion. Why don't you want value creators to promote their work themselves?

No and no. If someone else promoted it for you, I still would've flagged it as spam.

The problem with self promotion is not with you, or any one in particular, but in a tragedy of the commons. I don't want HN to be filled up with hundreds of requests of self-promotion.
