Darren...define success and for whom? If I send out 600 emails, get 599
flames, and one position, was I successful?

I realize that this is the model under which we each receive hundreds of
junk mails per day, but ya can't argue the model.

Er....as a regular Usenet user and occasional employer of technical
writers, can I just point out to the fledgling writers among you that,
in a post-dotcom-boom economy, this is not a recommended strategy for
success? DB.

I found my first tw job by spamming the alt.comp.misc Usenet list with a
resume to about 600 email addresses extracted from that group.
