Hi folks - Thought it might be entertaining to enjoy for a moment the case of mistaken identity that gave me this in my inbox briefly (follows). Hard on its heels came this from the mailing list scouring, bonus-hungry Ravi > Hi Andy > > Sorry, I wrongly assumed you worked at Redhat > Please accept my humble apologies[1] - havent had my coffee yet this > morning..... :-) > > Cheers! I confess - prior to being ejected by the decaffinated Ravi - I ran a special dream movie about being relocated by PURE MONEY, untainted by any human influence, to some cocktail-sipping otherworld where Geeks stride mightily over the land, revered by all, toasted by Zurich society, lusted after by hot women, sycophanted up to the eyebrows, etc. Dave Jones wrote about a similar attack on RHAT staff (although he had the advantage of the offers being genuine) http://kernelslacker.livejournal.com/35615.html -Andy [1] Yeah apologies accepted ya bastard.

If you feel that either of these positions is something that may be of interest to you, please send me an email so we can schedule a time for me to call you to speak with you to discuss more details. I hope you are not bothered by my networking attempt. If you are not interested or available, but would like to forward my name and contact information to your friends or colleagues, I would be most delighted. Thanks Andy and hope to hear from you soon.
