Mmmm.  For a Linux job?  To a mailing list?

Whilst I shall try and investigate if I can save Robert's skin; remember
that this is information that has been put into the public domain--and sent

I can imagine that, having sent it in Word format, it should prove to be
adequate protection if you are wanting to continue to apply for Unix related
jobs in the future and wanting to prevent them reading it...(!)

It would be of genuine interest to hear from Steve Nice--as a recruiter--
about his feeling towards formats.  I'm sure many other people may also be
interested in Linux firm so close to Nottingham, do you want to tell (sell?)
us a bit more about your company Steve?  [By invitation].

"For Linux's" services (as well as their job vacancies) may well be of
interest to many other LUG members.
