"advertising"means you're trying to sell something, whereas Theo's trying to buy something (in this case, some future
employee'ssoul). Now, a quick check of ye olde Merriam-Webster suggests advertising is "the action of calling
somethingto the attention of the public..." which means that this is technically a violation, and a knee-jerk banning
couldbe justified if you really wanted to be a jerk about it. But I think you need a clarification of policy in this
fuzzyarea before you're justified in kicking people out for violating it.<br /><br /> Had there been an explicit policy
againstsoliciting for a job, I'm sure the commentary about the changing role of the DBA--which is itself an interesting
topicI enjoyed reading his thoughts about and completely appropriate for Planet distribution IMHO--would have been
rewrittento be more general and just ended with suggesting OmniTI likes to work with such people instead.<br /><br
