..Did my posting provoked you in some way?

If, on the other hand, you are the 'job
pro', I recommend you ggive the game up.
You are pathetic at it.

Bear in mind, Leonidas, that you are not the only one to post to this newsgroup and violate the norms. Many folks post questionable "job offers", and we as professionals have to make a determination as to their legitimacy. Your post looked at first blush like so many that appear on the newsgroups that are pathetic, possibly even fraudulent. How are we supposed to know?

If the poster of the job follows the rules, such as the ones that Andrew mentioned (not multi-posting but cross-posting, understanding that nothing "urgent" happens here, etc.), then we have a sense that they are potentially worthy. If they don't, then your best candidates are going to dismiss your post as bull***.

If they multi-post, that is, post individually separate messages to multiple groups, we lose respect. Someone we respect would have cross-posted, that is, posted one exact copy across multiple groups the way Andrew did. There is a difference.

You are going to get the leavings, the scrapings, the bottom of the barrel if you do not market your opportunity correctly. Is that truly what you want? If so, then poor you, because stars like myself, Oliver, Patricia, Chris and others will not look twice and you will be stuck with patzers.
