I was questioning the validity of contract jobs, in general on the linuxjobs mailing list. I wrongly assumed "job" to mean "permanent position". As other's have pointed out that if these contracts do not belong here then where do they belong? Creating a separate list would probably be counter productive.<div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>James</div></div></div></body></html>
