> [No, I am not interested in the position you posted; I just meant in general.]You ASSUME that I posted the position. I did NOT. I am a longtime PLUG member who, if you recall one of my recent posts, just moved to Ft. Lauderdale. ;) I'm arguing the point that it's probably NOT spam and that your reaction is unwarranted. As for "'bots subscribed to mailing lists" I know that MCT has in place controls to prevent/reduce on-list spam. It just makes no sense for it to be spam. Calm down. Take a deep breath. Count to ten. It's better to assume the good in people than the bad. Assume the bad and you'll make enemies. Assume the good and you'll simply delete a message that you'd have deleted anyway. K.S.

If you want to post from a throwaway e-mail address, it would be courteous to precede it or follow it with an e-mail with your identity. I for one would be more likely torespond positively.Regards -- Bhaskar On Dec 10, 2007 5:40 PM, Eugene Smiley <eug+plug@esmiley.net> wrote:K.S.

We have jobs posted on the PLUG list all the time. The job position entirely on topic and it's local to PLUG. Just because it's sent from a 'throwaway' email address doesn't make it spam. </me votes not-spam. yet.>___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
