No, I genuinely want to apologise to everyone who (like me) gets the message
four times and has to delete it four times. After all, I know a number of
people on this list personally. Anyway, I think the discussion is probably
over now so back to work.
Do pass the job ad on to anyone who might be interested by the way.
Thanks
Jan

Actually, I agree with Tim, but I'd put it like this.
If you think you need to apologise for posting something, don't post it.
If you think something is relevant to more than one community (even if
some people frequent several) then post away, with our without a comment
(though a comment like Tim suggests will show that you thought about it).
