Since I'm a technical developer/manager (no headhunters here), I use the list as an Informix information resource. I would like the freedom to look for full time help when needed for a specific database application. When I have more development than I can handle, I'd like to go to a source where real developers can be found. Also, I don't have convenient news access, so its tough to post in the appropriate news group. I'd agree the employment placement services should fine other avenues. But I like to think that developers presenting new opportunities to developers is OK. Jeffrey D. Hanan hanan@abq.bdm.com Phone:(505) 848-5362 Fax: (505) 848-5720
