Michael (and list members), I'm not going to lie to you. That's exactly what I was doing, but in my defense if I may, I "pimp and whore" the list once every few months normally. There just happened to be 1-2 extra posts this month I couldn't refuse replying to the list with my pitch. My job is to find great candidates for my clients, but I also try my best to place great candidates with prospective clients.
So as I was saying to John, I will refrain from doing so (more often than once every few months). Thank you, Beau J.

The first was to engage Robi in a staffing capacity (Robi asked in his posting not to have recruiters inquire by the way) but the reason for posting it to the list was an excuse to advertise to the masses about his staffing/ recruiting services. Obviously he does this allot. I'm not sure if that's in the spirit of this list which I understand to be offering actual jobs, not staffing services. This is all speculation on my part.

Especially in cases like this where the reply can possibly be considered spam to a large group? And what exactly are the ethics within getting a private reply (unless I just missed the list reply from Aodhan) and then replying publicly, seemingly to make the criticizer look bad? He may not have had the most tact, but it was a privately emailed request. I can understand posting the "I have people available". I can understand posting "I have jobs available". But I do see where Aodhan was coming from with his private reply about pseudo-consistently making public job offer replies in this manner.
