All Members - Important Note from the Moderator

Hi,

First of all thank you for being a member and I hope you have found the
group to be helpful.

If you have any suggestions please feel free to email me.

As most of you already know this is a high technology networking group.

Recently, I have been receiving a larger number of non high technology
related job roles for posting. Given the job market and people's need to
find roles, I have been fairly lenient on these.

Going forward if the role does not have a high technology component, please
do not post it. I will start rejecting these at it takes a tremendous amount
of time to review and approve postings.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Regards,

Gary L. Wright - President/Principal
