Bulkmailers are probably allowed specifically for this list because a lot of (relevant) job offerings are cross-posted to this list. This isn't the only applicable forum for FreeBSD-related jobs. > I have obviously offended you and possibly others on the list, and for th= at I=20 > do appologize. I doubt that most of the people reading these lists would take this kind of thing as personally as you seem to. I didn't find your post offensive, I found it to be a complete waste of time/space/energy, both in your futile attempt at "knocking some sense" into this person, and in my having read your useless banter. > And yes, let it be a message to all hiring managers who might read this. = I do=20 > my job, at minimum, and I get my work done in a prompt, and effecient man= nor.=20 > And quite frankly, my work speaks for itself as do all of the people that= I=20 > have worked for in the past, who will gladly tell you about the type work= =20 > I've completed for them.

One of the things that I most admire about Open-Source developers, especially those involved with the FreeBSD project, is humility. You seem to be lacking in this quality, in addition to tactfulness. So basically what you're trying to prove is that you're uncommunicative and don't work well in groups? > I see you're from Cornell, most likely using your alumni account.

Now you're attacking the respondent based purely on his email address? And when did this become a personal advertisement? You seem to be on a personal crusade to prove that your experience and conviction outweigh having no credientials; this is a noble cause, but you're going about it in completely the wrong way. --=20 || Seth Kingsley || Meow Meow Fluff Fluff || sethk@meowfishies.com || || rndcontrol -s 0 || --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE72L1eD1AymFxBOwgRAjbXAJ9XgHWUDbTM3H5+5nvAvXZUgXvU5wCfVHUd 1ghA+HnuUeIbDZObBgofTPU= =RJIi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --n8g4imXOkfNTN/H1-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
