I've noticed that on your posts to the GUML, you advertise your want to be
employed;


Gizza job, mister..!

it would be wise to advertise yourself as a sysadmin, then post to a ML with
your root address.


Pardon..?

Erm... but, of course, I do. I rather assumed that would be obvious.

Not if the account appears to be named 'root' - there's so many CVs in 
the pile these days it's just too easy to bin it on little things like 
that.

I know it's a bad assumption but it's probably one I'd make just 
because of how it *looks*!



It's not really THAT seemingly, Sir:

  stellar.eclipse.co.uk mail is handled (pri=10) by mx1.ex.eclipse.net.uk

  *** No address (A) records available for stellar.eclipse.co.uk

As you can see, stellar.eclipse is virtually hosted. Is it really a risk for
me to post using this address..?
If I worked in Human Resources I'd never have got past 'Sir'. ;-)
