Me too!

For folks looking to post recruiting messages, here's the list of "How  
To Be Good According To Alex":
- Make sure it's related to Linux (Perl's not Linux, but maintaining  
Perl
   on a Linux box... well... near enough for me)
- Only post if you are the person/company offering the job
- Tag the post with [JOB] (if one of the list administrators could add
   [JOB] to the topics, it would be nice)
- Include only a summary of the role (a teaser, if you will), with
   further details on your web site

For example, the "Unix Systems Administrator (Solaris)" message could  
have been better if it was written thus:

(the main point I'm really making here is that it's easier for folks  
to be good if you tell them how to be good, rather than keep smacking  
them when they're bad)
