Hi all,
I really appreciate this list and value it very highly. The recent efforts
to assist the person looking for an emergency developer were all well
intended.
Could list members please note the difference between "Reply" and "Reply to
Sender" on their email clients? Some of you may not have even realized you
were posting your rates or other business communications to the whole darn
list.
Anyway, posting a business request is slightly off-topic for the list.
Posting business proposals is, IMHO, _way_ off topic.
Sorry for the bandwidth use...
Best regards,
-- Lou
