Re: ADMIN: Warning: Your address may have been harvested by a spammer.

Bruce,

Not to worry. Techdude sent an absurd (and almost illiterate) job posting to the list a few days ago and we've been making fun of it ever since. Hope he lasted on the list long enough to see that...

Thanks for the great work! The ORACLE-L list is a terrific resource!
