Looking on the bright side, recruiter misbehaviour returning to normal levels might be a leading indicator for recovery of the economy. (This one also did not bother to take our helpful suggestion about better places to post.)

I've set the 'moderated' flag on Amela's balug-talk subscription.

Hi Balug,

I hope this message is appropriate. I did my best to review some of the guidelines but did not see anything forbidding job opportunities. If I made a mistake please accept my apologies in advance.

Let's see: To join this mailing list preparatory to posting, you first had to go to http://lists.balug.org/listinfo.cgi/balug-talk-balug.org . Where, on line two, in bold type, it says:

Linux jobs postings are welcome and ALLOWED ONLY FROM THOSE RECENTLY HAVING GIVEN A TECHNICAL PRESENTATION AT A BALUG MEETING (or confirmed to do so at an upcoming BALUG meeting) (limit, one e-mail posting item per technical presentation). (Those not doing such a presentation may want to post elsewhere, such as SVLUG Jobs or BayLISA Jobs.)

After seeing that, you joined and posted.

I once heard Eric Raymond opine that technical people are a bit different from the general run of corporate employees, in that they tend to actually take personally being lied to, especially when it is done clumsily.
