That sorry could not resist was also in the previous email in this thread.
It might be even the SCNR from that previous email.

A "sorry could not resist"
should be a signal to NOT sent a message.

Sigh.

Please don't respond to spam, it just magnifies the noise.

I'm already updating our anti-spam rules regularly to try and keep
things as clean as possible.

I will be surprised if Ray is subscribed and reading this as Ray's
message was basically spam (a cold contact with very little research
behind it).

It may be worth generally noting that the Debian project is not a
company and cannot buy any services itself. Other legal entities
such as SPI inc enter into contracts on behalf of Debian where
necessary.

And of course, Debian is probably pretty comfortable managing its
own IT functions and anyone who has any ideas about how they can be
improved will be expected to join in — as a volunteer — not pitch a
commercial solution.

Ask not what Debian can buy from you, Ray, but what you can freely
contribute to Debian. 

Thanks,
Andy

Sometimes, satire is written by marketing departments. Or by
some LLM run in reverse posing as such -- these days, you
just can't know. As far as I'm concerned, they all pass the
Turing test with flying colours.
