Or even better, replace ALL email addresses in this thread with a link to the wiki showing the list people should be using to make their referrals. That would be fair to everyone.
I don't want to jump in front of anyone, but I would like if something were done to encourage people to follow the list so that everyone gets their turn.

I'll set aside, for the moment, the fact that we moderators have no actual way of knowing who has already benefited from this offer.
This is, as you mention, an appropriate place for this particular discussion, and nearly as I can tell, none of the other mods (nor I) see any problem with it being here. However, there's a difference between "not seeing a problem with it" and putting a lot of effort into using the offer to turn this forum into some sort of free-device generator.
As it happens, Justy has
already come up with a mechanism to rotate the referral addresses used, as you suggested earlier, which is probably the best available option, in the absence of outright clairvoyance. In fact, all indications are that she's had it in place for quite some time now, and has been tending it herself -- she's not a Mod, just a member of this community interested in being helpful to others. We get a lot of that type here, actually.
Past experience with you suggests that you'll regard this post as a ridiculous, mean-spirited attack upon you, but really it's not, it's just an answer, such as I'd give any rational person.
