Since you are not a lawyer, you ought to follow common sense. The Linux-IL mailing list is about Linux. > And since I just re-subscribed, I got a link to the > Rules (welcome to linux-il), which is broken.

However this does not excuse you from following common sense. > I sent my posting to a mailing list, which is loaded > with irrelavant discussions about almost anything. If they are irrelevant, and you contribute something to those discussions, suggest that they be moved to the Hackers-IL mailing list. If I am so impolite to fart in public, it does not mean that if you fart after me, you'll be polite just because I was impolite. > Following the Rules or not, I sent this posting, > because I was confident that it would do good to some > people, and not bother others.

The world is full of job postings, so we expect you to exercise some judgment in filtering the job postings, leaving in only those, which mention Linux (or at least UNIX). > > 1. posting off topic > > Did I invent that?

We accept also "Unix" assuming that people, who are interested in Linux, can leverage their Linux knowledge to handle other Unix and Unix-like operating systems. The job offer for human resources specialist is clearly irrelevant for this list - you should have removed it and posted it to a mailing list read by people interested in the subject of human resources - if at all. > > 4. passing spam/chain mail to the list without > > finding out the source > > and authenticity is not against the rules but should > > be. > > I believe that anyone who tries any of these offers > will find them reliable.

Ira's suggestion was with tongue in cheek. Your response begins to be malicious and indicates that you are a troll or someone who is going to be a troll in the future. --- Omer My opinions, as expressed in this E-mail message, are mine alone.
