Mark, Sounds great! I had to do a similar thing myself for the Northern Colorado Linux Users Group. I, and others were sending through Linux jobs as we found them, and some people became irate and considered it off-topic, so i put up a jobsite to appease them and still keep others informed of Linux and open source positions in the area. It has worked very well. Good Luck with your effort. -- Michael Lewis Nichestaffing.com Web: http://www.nichestaffing.com Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 970-472-1241 Fax: 970-472-8497 The Israelite army looked at Goliath and said, he's so big we can't possibly win.
