thanks for sharing that (upsetting) experience with us. I guess by showing
this kind of attitude, Nick won't have to bother with too many people asking
or contacting him in the future (as far as I hope).
 
I hope that "netizens" will support "evolution" by preferring posters like
David W. Falkenstein who demonstrated "netiquette" by properly starting the
subject of his job opportunity posting with the words "Job Opportunity"...

Nevertheless, I personally would prefer all these job-postings in a dedicated
newsgroup or forum like that on http://www.3k.com mentioned by Chris B before.
 
Sigh, Lars/iX
