As Chris has pointed out, our guidelines for job posts also cover replying. If you are interested in a position, contact the poster directly. If you feel you have important, constructive, and civil feedback you want to give the original poster, do so off the list.
Please also make yourself familiar with our code of conduct for member participation: http://nwrug.org/code-of-conduct We want to maintain a positive and civil atmosphere both here on the list as well as at our meet ups.
