I do not wish to commit to a course of action on a unilateral basis, so in all 
fairness to the membership, I will do what Glenn did not:
Ask what you think.
I've gotten a few emails from people who wanted to know more details than my 
fatigued brain remembered to put in, which is the only reason I sent multiple 
postings. Normally I am not a Bloody Viking. I apologize for the repeat 
postings.
I do note in passing that I am unaware of any objections to other members 
seeking gainful employment via this mailing list-- which is what I did too.
