This mailing list is not a place to threaten people or to publicly<br>
bash on other companies. Therefore, we shall _stop_ this thread now<br>
and focus on constructive conversations instead. I'll use my mailing<br>
list moderator powers to start banning people that don't take this<br>
request seriously.</blockquote><div> </div><div> I think Alex was in his right to express a bad experience with a recruiting firm, I bet there are other people on this list who have considered using a recruiting firm to find Drupal talent who might have found this information useful. I'm sure no one would complain if Alex has posted an email about a really great recruiting firm he had found. </div>
