Great masters of the PLUG and all things CLI. I defer to your wisdom and first admit my incompetence at perhaps inadvertently advertising a job to this list. If there is an alternate list, please instruct me appropriately and I shall withdraw forthwith. If, in your all-wise judgement, this is the proper list, I also reference that I have heretofore utilized the opportunity to deliver emails of this nature to your inboxes in a fashion most rare and, what I hope to be, most judicious.
