IMHO, Lateef Sagar's message was perfectly legitimate and absolutely ON
TOPIC for the Unicode List. He didn't try to sell anything but simply
pointed us to a demo page of his (questionable) technology.
During the years, I have seen lots people coming here to announce new
releases of their Unicode-related products, and no one called them
"spammers".

Although no comments or criticism was explicitly requested, the context (the
Unicode List and the other forums related to encoding or fonts) and the
demonstrative nature of the page pointed to may be considered an implicit
request for technical comments and discussion.

Sorry, but I have to complain with Sarasvati for your threatening manners.
