It's the often hyped positions that don't say much other than how great the body shop is that really get annoying. They leave out the principal so their competition won't get the lead--obviously--but end up littering our group. Maybe we should all start posting the principal for a body shop position if we know who the principal is. This might discourage instantaneously the body shops from posting. I think far less principals post because they know how irritating the body shops are. For example, I see FL positions, and know who the principals are in many cases. I may just start posting the principals, even as a guess. :-) -- Tim Schaefer \\\\|// tschaefe@mindspring.com (6 6) ------------------------oOOo---( )---o00o--------- Liberty: http://www.lp.org Informix: http://www.iiug.org --------------------------------------------------
