[TriLUG] DOH! no - WHOA!!

[Greg Brown]

Whoa!  Steve, and everybody, please continue to post job openings!   I 
was
having a bit of good fun, not trying to start a flame war.  Through no 
fault of
my own I have found myself unemployed and without a steady income for
the first time since I started to deliver newspapers in Tucson when I 
was 9
years old.  I look forward to any job postings that come the way of the
TriLUG list.  In fact I am on a one week "casual labor" engagement 
thanks to
a message sent to this list.

Please reconsider you stance.  I wasn't bashing the employer for asking 
for
a specific, yet broad, skill set - just having a little fun.  And my 
jab was meant
towards the job market as a whole, not this specific employer or job 
post.
