I’m uninterested in giving you content. In particular because of your past behavior.

Thanks for the offer though.

> past behavior

Do go on.

Kurt, how dare you.

You wouldn’t happen to work for fly.io as well, would you?

Edit: Nm, thought I remembered your UN and see on your profile that you do.

Yes. And the author of the submission.
