Agreed. Greg is right in this case and I am misinformed, because I was
going by Adam's post and have not seen this document... Also the page is
specially about hiring a developer and I was not aware the page existed
and this was a clarified rule of this mailing list.

However Greg also wants to close down the mailing list... so he's not
interested in even keeping it alive; much less what rules it follows.
