Wallace: "Ah, well, it's no use prevaricating about the bush..." A "until you apologise" on the end would have been nice, but Lyle is essentially correct: it was off-topic spam. I've also seen it on the Bristol LUG list, but not on http://mailman.lug.org.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxjobs where it would be most on-topic. Being friendly and welcoming doesn't mean letting every spammer get away with it. That way lies madness... Reverend Clement Hedges: "Beware! Beware the beast within!" I'm really disappointed that Aardman Animations is just another company willing to exploit community groups for their own gain. Reverend Clement Hedges: "To kill such a creature will require nerves of steel and... a bullet!" Wallace: "Look, if I must change me ways, at least let me do it my way, with technology."
