    Dear Ian, and Subscribers,

     

    In short, I make the rules. And that's the way it is. Via private
    emails, I have been thanked for conveying my message regarding listserv
    etiquette.

     

    If people don't like my rules, they are free to unsubscribe from this

    Hello Pamela,

    I don't mean to be rude, but please can you explain why you think it is
    acceptable etiquette for those with positions to fill to post their
    interests on this list, but not so for those seeking positions . In my
    view, the list should either operate as a market for buyers and sellers
    of services to get together, or it should not (in which case, please
    ban all employment related postings). I cannot see that there is any
    material difference arising from who solicits whom.

    Personally, I was pleased to see Samirdev's posting, as I know several
    operators who are seeking someone with exactly his credentials, and I
    have forwarded his contact details to them. His initiative has generated
    potential for two parties to gain mutual benefit in the subject of our
    interest. What is wrong with that?

    Best wishes
