Most of them are from James at Camalyn. I confess that this is probably 
my fault in encouraging him as I found him a DBA after he posted an 
advert here several times (I should add that this didn't benefit *me*, i 
was doing it as a favour to a friend who was looking for a job).

An agency is going to make into four figures for placing *one* person 
and advertising via other channels costs money so some sponsorship from 
the likes of Camalyn, perhaps paying all our server hosting fees, might 
be worth thinking about ...
