job listings for specific positions that involve mod_perl have traditionally
been very welcome here - provided the message is for a real position by
someone willing to hire (as opposed to some random headhunter fishing for
random souls) it is very much on-topic for this list, as are follow ups that
might clarify the position and/or company for people considering it.

digressions into ideologies or other things completely unrelated to mod_perl
have traditionally been discouraged here, as we like to keep a high
signal-to-noise ratio so that the list is continually of value to those
doing mod_perl related things.  as such, over the course of the years this
list has essentially played out like this:

  o mod_perl questions - signal
  o mod_perl jobs - signal
  o straight apache or perl related questions - mostly noise, but we tend to
be tolerant as mod_perl is a bridge between both communities
  o theories on telecommuting - noise

so, with no hard feelings, let's keep the noise down, ok?
