Job ads in CLUG.

[Richard]

Most of the arguments are single sided. Look from a point of view from a 
person on the Clug list that is forced to do windows support for a 
living... by posting a linux related Job offer here might just be the 
key to uplift this poor Windows engineers soul and move to greener linux 
pastures.

In that case the job posting is more of a public service offering :-P
