[Gloucs] Permission Request

[Sean Keeney]

I honestly don't see the problem people have with it.

There's going to be a couple of posts a month from this guy, all useful to
people who actually work with Linux, such as myself. I actually appreciate a
recruiter who thinks like this - sticking your adverts on 'Jobserve' is the
limit of the imagination of most of them.

A cursory google shows this guy does this regularly. He also uses the same
spiel on each site/mailing list, but who cares? He's polite, friendly and
might be of use to some people on the board. So why the long discussion?

I think that anyone happy in their job that is irritated by a job advert
might want to turn off their internet connection. As long as the ads are
relevent, it's a win.
