> i may be evil but not THAT evil! :) Uri, it's not about any actual evil. I would really really like to say Yes to your kind offer. But Sean and I have to worry about the *perception* of evil even where it isn't.
Local companies, some of whom sponsor Boston.PM, expect postings to the list via the volunteer screener will avoid paying a headhunting fee. Having a headhunter screen the messages would make them expect evil. > and doing anything wrong with the local leads would be > counterproductive to me and my stellar reputation! :) Yes, *We* know you you're schizophrenic enough to handle it and committed enough to the Perl Community do the right thing for the organization and community (and thus for your own *longterm* good) -- And the Perl folks at the companies may even know that. But the HR departments only know (fulltime) headhunters in general and will expect otherwise, no matter what we know or expect ourselves. We don't want our sponsors to walk on us. We don't want local companies to be scared off submitting jobs for review. Sorry Uri, but unless you were to swear off taking fees from *all* local business (which I can neither ask, nor suggest nor expect), I think we need to have someone else, someone who *appears* *objectively* neutral, to be approving the job postings. I can do that chore (as it comes with the role), or maybe Ronald would like to continue to do that, or maybe someone else would like to. But Sean (as employee of a sponsor and thus an active competitor for resources) and Uri (as a part-time Headhunter) both must be excused from this duty. Or we could consider a change of policy to just allow posting (with same caveat of locality and relevance), thus avoiding the issue entirely.
