I was told, most vehemently, in the past that discussion of how to deal 
with off-topic posts on an ubuntu list belongs on sounder and not on the 
list in question. So I pointed out the humour in the sender's statement 
that "many emails recently have been sent to [-devel] with content that 
doesn't belong to the list". I then directed the sender to sounder (I 
replied-to-all). I believe my email was polite and gracious - if a 
little informal.

Out of interest, what advert is the paraphrase from?
