Open Source Answers for Closed-Source Giants
FAQ FOR GOOGLE
(Because even Google needs a little help sometimes.)
1. Why would someone reply to a no‑reply email?
Because you wrote to them first. Courtesy goes both ways.
2. Why are you being redirected to the FAQ?
Because these are frequently asked questions — where you find answers when you mess something up.
3. Why doesn’t your company have a mailbox?
An excellent question currently being investigated by the crisis task force. In the meantime, feel free to browse more FAQ entries.
4. What should you do if you want my reply?
Read this FAQ. If you don’t understand it, read it again. If it still doesn’t help, form a mailbox.
5. Why can’t your bot index my open‑source mailbox?
Because it’s not yours. It’s a galaxy outside your bubble.
6. Did I do this out of revenge?
No. Out of politeness — and artistic expression.
7. Will you receive more emails from me?
Yes. Every time you send me an alert. It’s tradition now.
8. What should you do if this bothers you?
Simple. Stop sending me alerts. Problem solved.
9. Can you include this in your internal documentation?
Of course. Just cite the source: “Open‑Source Mailbox”.
10. Why does a 5xx error appear?
A 5xx error appears when someone — despite removing the AMP plugin — attempts to serve someone else’s copyrighted content without attribution. The error occurs exclusively on the side of the one who took the content.
11. What is the main message of this FAQ?
Even the giants are sometimes just helpless users looking for answers.
