mrbun.com is NOT for sale

I've owned the domain mrbun.com since 1997. I originally registered it for a comic strip, and as a personal website. It's been a place to post my art, to post a journal, photos for friends, images for e-bay, photoshop entries for fark.com, etc... It's my personal website, and one I am quite attached to.

Imagine my shock today when I get an e-mail from rbtech.biz which appears to be a company which does website design in South East Asia. They sent me a message asking me to sell them my domain. They didn't e-mail me using my feedback form, they e-mailed me directly with the form's address. Normally I delete any messages which show up that bypass the form (my spam filter does it by default anyway). I am assuming their client, which appears to be a bakery in Malaysia, is searching for a domain.

Anyway, the message is below, along with my response.
