WTF does that mean? Am I on the market? A house can be on the market. I'm not 
selling myself. Especially not if estate agents are involved.

And it's nice to know that he's exclusively working. Although it seems that 
those years of sleep deprivation caused by working 24 hour days (exclusively 
working, innit :-) have impacted his ability to string a sentence together. 
Does he say that he's exclusively working in multiple Unix roles at the 
moment? In which case he should drop one or two of the roles, and a) get a 
social life so he's not working 24h a day, b) get some sleep, and c) get a 
Basic Level English Grammar book.

Why, why, *why* do companies hire people to do marketing/HR/any role where 
they have to write out to large numbers of random people, when these people 
couldn't even scrape a GCSE English pass with their bad grammar! I have a 
strong mind next time I get some marketing spiel with bad grammar to circle 
all the errors in red pen and send it back with an appropriate note attached.

Hmph. Sorry for ranting.

Dan
