Advertising for commercial products on an open source list is never welcome especially when such a response looks like it's made only to try to place a product and nor really to propose a technical solution (and it's not as if you had ever responded to a question here prior to this one). A large number of commercial product vendors are represented here, some of whom invest a lot in R&D and support, some even competing in certain areas, and all of them respect this basic rule, focusing only on sharing knowledge and improvements to haproxy. A few times I've even rejected requests from some of my coworkers who asked if it was OK to respond to someone with a link to one of HapTech's commercial solutions and I'm pretty sure others do the same in other companies. Given the complaints we used to have in the past with the spams on the list, I'm pretty sure that most of the list's participants would prefer that the list remains free of any form of advertising so that we can continue to work all together without being polluted nor starting to suspect that each proposal or question would derive to another ad. Also, I'm normally not the one who'd comment on each other's signature, but this one occupies almost half of my 80x24 response e-mail window, full of links and even trackers as if you were trying hard to make a bit of SEO, and this is quite impolite to many users, so I think it would be reasonable to significantly trim it down : > *Mark Lakes* > Sr Software Engineer > (555) 555-5555 > <https://www.signalsciences.com/?utm_source=emailsig> > Winner: InfoWorld Technology of the Year 2018 > <https://www.infoworld.com/article/3251828/application-development/infoworlds-2018-technology-of-the-year-award-winners.html#slide24> > <https://www.facebook.com/SignalSciences/> > <https://twitter.com/signalsciences> > <https://www.linkedin.com/company/signal-sciences/> You will simply not find this from most of the regular participants on this list and many would probably like to take the opportunity as well but refrain from doing so to respect others. So at least being the only one to post like this should give you a hint how to proceed in the future. Thanks, Willy
