Not to mention the large Python gravity field a few hundred miles South

But don;t expect Google and Yahoo suck to be a popular compaint ;-)

I'd love Python work, just like everyone else here. On a related
topic, what's the policy/etiquette of posting a resume on here, or
mentioning what kind of work you're looking for? And what's the
policy in general for most newsgroups and mailing lists?

We do a *lot* of telecommuting.  I'm working from home today, for
example, because I needed to deal with the plumber.  And we have two
people in Seattle out of seven fulltime people.  However, it's our
experience that people are more productive when they show up at the
office regularly -- the two Seattle people had lots of experience with
our product before they worked independently, and the two of them do
share an office.

(They work across the street from Elliott Bay Books, the bastards.)

I would take absence of such postings, even though you can imagine *lots* 
of people have had the same idea, as an indication that it is against 
policy/etiquette.  If 1 person does it, we could easily have 10 or 100 a 
day ;-).

  And what's the policy in general for most newsgroups and mailing lists?

For mainline newsgroups, such as the comp.*, commercial annoucements are 
generally counter-indicated unless the name (.marketplace) or charter say 
otherwise.  Exceptions would be a low volume of things of direct and narrow 
interest.  So I consider the rare job announcements posted here ok.  The 
same for book announcements.  In either case, such are positive news for 
what is still a minority, just becoming mainstream, language.
