While I agree the OP probably should have gone to libtech-jobs, are they
actually saying they aren't paying? While they didn't mention payment in

Hey John,

Unpaid internships are not universally illegal, but are often misused to
avoid minimum wage laws.

Unpaid internships where you are not receiving college credit are
generally illegal, unless the business is "training" you and not
receiving an economic benefit. This is not generally true for a vast
majority of unpaid internships.

A list enumerating some items which make this post objectionable:
1) Unpaid internships are wrong on a number of levels.
2) This is data-mining/graph analysis for spam.
