Re: [PLUG] Full Time Linux/Infrastructure Systems Administrators (Midrange & Senior)

Take a deep breath and count to 5, Freddy.

As Matthew pointed out, I was not unhappy with the content of the
message.  I was unhappy with the fact that there was a message that
looked like spam to me because there didn't appear to be someone who
stood behind it.  I asked for a human being to stand behind it.  You
stepped up.  I have no problems with the content of your post, and now
that I know those posts are not spam, I certainly have no objection to
your posting help wanted ads on the PLUG list.  Indeed, I too have
posted help wanteds to the PLUG list.

I don't think I flamed anyone, but if anyone feels flamed, my apologies.

P.S. About that photo - the photographer said we had to pretend we
were a grunge band releasing our first album and needed a cover shot
that showed attitude.  It's not exactly a picture I'm proud of...

I provide an email address which clearly identifies which company I work for.  The use of a generic address for applicants is not suspicious or foreign, as it is a common practice to have submissions routed to HR, a concerned business unit, and others.
