The groups he posted to does NOT constitute SPAMMING! He posted to a number of technical newsgroups whose readers >may< have found his post of interest. If he had posted to say, all of the alt.xxxxx groups... well then fine, give him hell. Actually, I'm of the opinion that people SHOULD post job openings in >specific< newsgroups (I think he did post to a few too many groups, but he was far from any sort of ridiculous number). Look at Gupta's forum on CI$ - they have a 'JobNet' section which is quite nice. If people need people with Gupta expertise, they can post a message there and expect a good response. IMO, job postings for a specific technical job will more than likely get lost in the shuffle in a generic 'jobs' newsgroup. >This act alone will alienate him from anyone with some occupational >integrity, and shows to the world what inferior work palce his position will >offer.
