Unfortunately your query wasn't well received. Perhaps it wasn't intentional on your part or perhaps it was but the wording of it seemed something less then being forthright.
Using a dynamic language metaphor for ducktyping as an example - if it smells like $%^&, looks like $%^& and tastes like $%^&, it is $%^&. Your post reaked of $%^& so hence it got a suitable response. Perhaps Google can set up a group dedicated to job queries for appengine developers so as to limit this type of discourse in the future. These types of posts are just embers waiting to ignite into a full fledged firestorm. Have a good day.
