Hi Robert!

Sorry for replying so late, but I've been on vacation.

Robert Klemme [2008-09-22 13:41]:
> First of all this is an English group so placing a job offer in

Well, I'm sincerely sorry should I have offended or annoyed anyone
by this post. But you can expect me to be fully aware of that fact.
I took the freedom to post this announcement on the main ("global"
as Rob put it) ruby-talk list because the German equivalent seems to
be dead. In addition to that, I'm sure this group has a far wider
German-speaking audience than ruby-de-talk ever had. So I just tried
to reach the biggest potential audience I possibly could. I'm sorry
if that appeared as an impoliteness towards you.

Also, I'm afraid, I would do it again (and welcome others to do it
likewise), provided that there aren't more members of this group
expressing their disapproval. Would you consider it appropriate to
tag such posts with "[<LANGUAGE>]" or something like that?

> Second, since you are looking for a Rails guy a Rails specific

You're right, from the job announcement it appeared to be so. But,
to be honest, I'd rather have someone who's great at Ruby and new to
Rails than someone mediocre at both (any potential applicants
reading this: please, ignore it for the moment - just apply ;-).

Besides, I'm counting on the word-of-mouth to spread this job offer
even further. You might not be interested in this position yourself,
but maybe you know some friend or colleague - who's following
neither ruby-talk nor rubyonrails-talk - who might. As a matter of
fact, I consider this group my "home group". Is that concept
familiar to any of you? I mean, among the few communities I
participate in, this one is first - with the inevitable side-effect
of sometimes feeling the desire - and the right - to stretch its
scope a bit (and I'm definitely not the only one to behave like that).

So, what's the bottom line? Yes, my post didn't fully match this
group's profile, but the overlap seems to be large enough that I
considered it worthy to give it a try. If such contributions are to
be disregarded, well, then be it. I myself would consider that a
deficiency, though.

> Please give a little more thought when posting stuff like this.
Don't worry, I did, like I always do. I just wonder, do you consider
it polite becoming so personal on a group like this? I could as well
have taken that as an insult.

Anyway...

cheers
