Re: Job Postings

All in all I don't mind job postings as long as they fall within items 1-4 on the Harris list. The postings are a nice way to track what the market is like. As long as they meet job posting netiquette and the guide lines set by c.d.i. However I would not object to a comp.databases.informix.jobs news group either. This would be like a quickie one-stop-shop to check the market or find a job if one is needed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Lanham jeffl@etcscan.com DBA UIN: 2721788 SCAN/Deluxe Payment Protection Systems, Inc.
