varoitus: kavahtakaa nimeä "CTI"

[Jarkko Hietaniemi]

Alla PääPerlMongerin tiedote.

Vaikken kovin todennäköisenä pidä että alla kuvattu yrityksen kuvatus
ottaisi listoilleen suomalaisia Perl-osaajia, on ehkä parempi katsoa
kuin katua.

Perl Mongers is getting popular enough that the situation that i
describe below is becoming less rare.  i've decided that it is not
good.  Perl Mongers already has specific mailing lists for perl jobs,
and even ny-perl-jobs.  as such, i've configured majordomo to not
honor the who command for my lists, and suggest likewise for others.

however, this does not stop the address harvesting programs (even if
they are wet-ware).  i have my telephone number in my email sig, which
is usually a good thing, but not so here.  be careful what information
you give out over Perl Mongers forums (of any kind).

on the NY.pm mailing list]

Donna Rubin is a current, but not for long, subscriber to this list.  She
works for the CTI Personnel Group, and as far as I can tell, is trying to
use this list to build up her contact list.

Several minutes ago I received a call from one of CTI's headhunters who
told me that Donna gave my name to him and that she got it through this
list.  When I called CTI to try to speak to someone to complain about
this, CTI refused to speak to me.

In my opinion, as Executive Director of Perl Mongers, this is not cool.
Since they did not wish to speak to me to resolve this problem, the only
thing I can do is warn you that there are unscrupulous people in our midst
and to be careful what information you give out in your messages.

Welocme to the Black List CTI.  You're our first contestant.  May you
fully enjoy the public relations fiasco this will be.
