Agreed.
Keeping that little detail in mind, it makes sense to ensure that what
we post to groups like this is the kind of stuff that helps build the
image we want to have.
Techwr-l is mirrored to Usenet, which makes it very searchable by anyone
with a computer.
Rather than complain about this allowing emplyers to be "underhanded",
why not incorporate this into our "marketing plans"? Use it to help
build our images as professionals someone would want to have on their
teams?
