What you did is called "spamming;" it is indiscrete, and never appreciated. It is the electronic equivalent of junk mail. If I get junk mail with a postage-paid return envelope, I send it back -- you are likely to get lots of negative reactions to your "spam." On the other hand, if you have a job that applies to any *one* of the 47,253 groups you spammed, the people in that group are likely to be interested. : Jan Steinman <mailto:Jan@Bytesmiths.com> : Bytesmiths, the Smalltalk specialists <http://www.bytesmiths.com> : "This is witty signature 1 of 47,288."
