Tom has a point and it's too bad more people don't take his view.  I've 
read this list for a number
of years and it always amazes me when people reply and make a big deal 
over it as opposed to
simply ignoring it or using the delete key.  While I believe that replies 
are necessary with repeated
infractions, do we always have to jump on someone the first time they do 
something 'wrong'?

Re: Wanted: OpenBSD Systems Administrator






The just guy sent one single e-mail asking if a bsd user wanted a job,
which I bet many among us might be interested.

A bit off topic, yes but if that doesn't apply to someone, bitching just
creates more noise... As it is clearly stated in that page:
"Complaining about and commenting upon spam on the list proper is
counter-productive as it generates more traffic than the spam itself."

So, while his spam could potentially give any a job to a fellow BSD
user, all complaints about his post accomplish absolutely nothing.

Happy new year!
