<br>
I joined this group several years ago. I used to be an employment
recruiter back when companies still needed people like me. At the time,
I wrote to the group and asked if it was OK to look for Drupal
Consultants to support a project my current contract needed help on.
(bty I was an inside recruiter working under contract to a start up.)
No one, responded! So I sent out an email to the group, presenting what
I was given by my client. I received 3 responses and put them all in
touch with the hiring manager who could speak intelligently to the
project. (speaking intelligently to the project was a plus. I know that
is not always the case.) The manager was blown away. He had never
gotten such highly qualified folks so quickly. The project
unfortunately changed and was postponed. Such is the nature of start
ups. Why wouldn't you want someone like me to post project requests to
this group? It worked and everyone won. Sure the project changed but I
guarantee those consultants are still in this guys Rolodex. What harm? <br>
<br>
OK, so why am I still here? I'm self employed. You folks actually talk
intelligently to the ins and outs of being self employed. It's hard
work and it's lonely. It still beats the hell out of wage slavery. I
hardly ever write to you but I read what you have to say and gain from
the stuff that is pertinent to my situation. I have great deal of
gratitude to you for your tips and insights. <br>
<br>
Would you really kick me out because I'm not a Drupal consultant? <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Therese <br>

question here: Who is it that would make a decision such as closing
down this list? Is this one person's decision? A committee? How
would it be decided, etc?<br>
<br>
I just posted on DGO a suggestion to elect a moderator. Let's let
anyone who would like to see the list go on and want to moderate it
post what they think the guidelines should be. Then everyone can vote
for a moderator. Seems that would be a way to make this list serve the
needs of its members in a fair way.<br>

There are multiple rss feeds for every group on <a

<br>
If we moved the conversation there, you could use those.<br>
