The message itself isn't spam, but the article history is heavy on the licence and pricing.

Not sure but since there is no link looks more like a genuine comment to me.

Could it be possible that the person didn't understand the difference between comment and solution and this question just happened to be useful to him?

There has recently been a wave of almost identical comments which are later updated to add spam links.

This answer fits the pattern so well that I'm willing to bet that it's another spammer. If you're not, then feel free to wait for the spam payload to be added. Smile | :)

May I simply say what a relief to discover someone that truly

You certainly realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
A lot more people need to look at this and understand this side of your
story. I can't believe you aren't more popular given that you surely
have the gift.

I'm guessing it'll get the payload added later - probably football shirts, it fits the pattern

This article How to stop wasting engineering time on technical debt[^] contains several links - many are perfectly valid references but several are to a blog on the company website.

It's actually an interesting article but is too site-driving for me which is why I've reported it as spam but I'm not reporting the joined-yesterday member...yet

*****************************************************************************
EDIT - Please see the response from OG below
Having looked at it again, I agree with OG that it should be a blog, in which case the links would be fine (in this case).

For me the pictures are way too big, and it's a blog entry rather than an article.
Spam? Not convinced - as a blog the links would be fine. As an article it's too "opinion heavy" rather than "fact related" for my taste anyway.

There was a bug, if a blog got edited it would change to an article and wouldn't be possible to change it back zo blog.

Maybe is the bug still active.
