[5.10] Should I post job advertisements and/or resumés on comp.lang.c++?

NO!!!

Job ads, off-topic in comp.lang.c++, give the impression of an employer that is irresponsible and/or technically clueless — not the impression you want to make! Instead post your job ad / resumé on one of the dozens of *.jobs.* newsgroups that are designed for that purpose. [Adapted with permission from postings by David Harmon and Brian B. Rodenborn]
