Actually, this is pretty much what I was thinking - I've had the joy of 
looking for a job twice inside 12 months after a long time in one 
company and, to be honest, if even half the agencies I spoke to were as 
correctly targeted as the ads posted here I'd have been delighted.

I also get more Windows and Games programming job offers in a typical 6 
week period than ads on CLUG, despite not ever having written a game 
(BASIC on a BBC B doesn't count, apparently) or programmed Windows for 
over 12 years.

About my only constructive comment would be that Camalyn's ads could be 
a little more specific in terms of details, given that the audience here 
can probably cope with more than just "Programming Linux Databases", but 
arguably if I'm that interested I could just reply to the advert...

Just my 0.00 (my views are worth what you paid for them)

TTFN,
