OK in this NG?
Not a technical problem: a poster asked whether job adverts for Informix staff are acceptable in the newsgroup. Regulars answered yes, provided the request is genuine, not a fishing/recruiter trawl, and the group isn't flooded with repeat posts. Several added the group's etiquette convention of always putting the job's location — city/state and, for the benefit of non-US readers, the country — in the subject line. Question answered; no further issues raised.

Is it OK to make postings in this NG for required Informix personnel? Thanks Grant S>
Grant, I certainly can't speak for everyone -- but it seems a lot of people do. As long as it is a real request I don't see why not. And you have my respect already for asking first. Tom Grant wrote: > Is it OK to make postings in this NG for required Informix personnel? > > Thanks > Grant S>
The general concensus around here is if you are not fishing, don't try to insult our intelligence, and don't flood the NG then we won't be too hard on you. If you play nice you are welcome to join the fun. Art S. Kagel Grant wrote: > > Is it OK to make postings in this NG for required Informix personnel?
I would like to add the general rule that posters seem to follow is to ALWAYS mention the city/state in the subject line. HTH, Vince > -----Original Message----- > From: Art S.
