Chris-
It is very inappropriate to post hiring solicitations to this list. The
purpose of this list is primarily to further the work of the IETF TCP over
Satellite working group and secondarily to advance the technical issues of
the networking over satellite community. As a longtime subscriber to this
list, you know that and chose to disregard it. Do not do it again. Our
ability to address the technical issues depends on setting aside competative
positioning (and recruiting is an example of that).
To others who may be considering posting similar messages: I will remove the
poster from the distribution list. There are over 900 subscribers to this
list and it will not be allowed to become a forum for advancing individual
companies' interests. If you have a doubt about the appropriateness of a
message, please contact me personally before sending it.
