The poster at least ought to be willing to hang out and answer questions. A bunch of slick empty marketing drivel would be less than welcome. Ada job postings are in a different category entirely. Even if you aren't looking for a job, they are much less of a nuisance than the "there are no Ada jobs" flamewars we'd get otherwise.

I suspect I'm not the only one, based on the number of munged email addresses I see people using here. I've found with a bit of effort put into an email filter, spam actualy can be quite entertaining. Some of the scams are downright hilarious.
