That's not to say it's impossible to have a good experience. I've just been burned enough times to stay clear. As for your suggestions, I have no problems if someone on the list happens to be a recruiter, as long as the REASON they're on the list isn't to post jobs and mine contact information. If they participate actively in the list (or even lurk, while paying attention to the subject matter), that's fine by me. But if they start tossing junk job listings onto the list, they deserve whatever scorn and humiliation can be heaped upon them. -- Matthew Walker HAM Call Sign: N7TOX Kydance Hosting & Consulting, Inc. - http://www.kydance.net/ PHP, Perl, and Web Development - Linux Server Administration /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
