Let's say the set of people with and without a girlfriend or a family
running Debian GNU/Linux is denoted by X.
Now, we all agree that if someone contributes to Debian as a debian
developer, most surely he/she/it will be running Debian and/or any other
distro/OS. So, after this fair assumption, we can denote Y the set of
Debian developers and contributor.
Thus, since it is clear from the above statements that Y is a subset of
X, that is, Y is contained in X, then, by addressing X as you did,
Wolfgang, in your previous emails, you are (I am sure not intentionally)
addressing Y.
So, yes, you were indeed talking, amongst others, about the people
contributing to Debian.
