Cool.

Are we talking height here, or being portly?

How many years is that? "Experienced" could mean six months for all I care.

Heh.

How does this "Perl experience" differ from what was mentioned above? And how is it you think Ksh and Perl skills are somehow grouped together? What you shoud be asking for is Perl and/or shell skills, since specifying ksh alone is non-sensical given other shells.

I meet these requirements.

How can you possibly stupulate C++ above without any C skills?

Also, what makes you think your email is welcome here?

Seconding Thomas's comments, and speaking as the Linux Gazette mailing list administrator: As long as you remove tag at lists.linuxgazette.net from your set of e-mail addresses to use, and never send us anything like that, ever again, your intrusion is forgiven.

On the other hand, if I ever see an even vaguely similar e-mail again, from your company, even once, your entire firm will be null-routed permanently, on the spot.

If you're unclear on what that means, please ask your network admin. However, the short form is: you won't like it much.

By the way, the above is conclusively fraudulent, and will get your firm automatically classified as a criminal enterprise in most places.
