I did not, and do not, class your posting as being rude.

I can understand that you may have been offended by my classification of
your email.  However, you were advertising your skills for which you
expected to be paid.  I call that commercial - one of the attributes of
spam.  You also posted the same content to multiple forums, another
attribute associated with spam, not just LUG lists but the perl lists as
well.

We have an expression here in the UK:  If it looks like a duck and it
quacks like a duck, it a duck!  Be an adult, take responsibility for
your actions.  You may not have intended that your email was taken as
spam, but that is how some choose to see it.  I submitted the the bigger
fault lay with your initial action.

It would also not have started if you had acted differently.  Posting to
one or two lists a request for advice on how to best look for a job in
the UK is very different than a post directly asking for a job and a
place to live as well.  You might even have got some useful suggestions.

If that is your wish then so be it.  Personal I prefer to continue a
dialogue in the hope of finding a resolution.  It maybe that SLUG needs
to generate an "Acceptable Use Police" and send them a link to it when
anyone signing up to the list.  That is not an unreasonable complaint if
job requests are common on other, similar forums.  But if you wish to
terminate your involvement in this discussion, so be it.
