At risk of breaking a policy to do with linking, I see that lunch with Helen Kelly is being auctioned to raise money for a Loss and Grief charity. Since it isn’t for profit, and since it is Helen, I hope you won’t object:
I’d happily bid 10 times the going reserve if there was any prospect of me being in NZ in time to make use of the opportunity:

Don’t mind linking – especially for Helen. Linking information is what the web was designed to do. It wouldn’t surprise me if this one gets thrown up on the site as a post to help. Helen even has a author login here so she could do it herself.
We do have a policy against astroturfing links, ie repeatably dropping a meme or links into our site for the purpose of advertising. That becomes a case of “I know it when I see it” rather than a hard or fast rule. That is why we will tolerate Penny self-promoting on Open Mike, provided 1) it doesn’t get too long and 2) isn’t available elsewhere to link to.
