Just received the following message from someone on the list.
I can only claim ignorance on this one. I didn't know anything about this
rule. Maybe I should have but I didn't. Or, I wouldn't have posted the job
opening to the list like I did. I didn't know it was against the rules.
Someone please send me the rules again so I can read them.
Sorry.
Is this a new rule?
As far as an invoice goes, I don't have anything to do with this company. I
was only trying to help connect people ... trying to help a nice man find
someone to fill a job and someone looking for a job find the job he is trying
to fill.
Sorry again.
Christine

Uh OH Christine, you're in trouble. You shouldn't have posted that job to the
list. I'm sure you'll find out soon enough, from Eric, and others, but one
of
the posting rules is:
"Please do not post ads in any form. Send job ads and other ads to announce
to
ejray -at- raycomm -dot- com for inclusion in the daily ad posting."
I'm so sorry. He'll probably suspend your posting privileges and send an
invoice
for the ad.
