Crudely speaking, the fact that they work at AWS means that it’s in their best interests for AWS to be perceived positively.

When this is the case it’s often nice to state this conflict of interest, so others can take your appraisal in the appropriate context.

I’m not implying anything about the post, just stating what I assume to be the reason for the disclosure.

I always think of pence as 1/100 of a £, but pennies as multiple penny (1p) coins.

I’m not sure whether it’s just me.

Not the OP but here in the UK there's a separate category of fridge-freezers called "American Fridge Freezers" which are typically the huge ones you describe. Everybody I know has a fridge-freezer, but not many of those are "American Fridge Freezers".

Are you in the UK? I too noticed how much emphasis there's been in the commentary in this tournament on players being "cute" with tactical fouls.

I take your point, but I don’t feel it’s disingenuous to take the quote at face value.

Maybe the quote lost some context but talking about “...levels of voting...” being a negative thing seems like a pretty obvious admission of a desire to suppress votes.

I think the responder misread your message and assumed you were adding a suffix like \+\w+ to the end of your email addresses like [email protected] -> [email protected]

Several email providers treat a + symbol as the end of the first part of the address and ignore everything between it and the @.

I think the responder’s point was that analytics providers just ignore things after a + too
