Every so often I see something very much like this on the debian mailing list. I want to know, do people really get a job this way? Is this list really intended for these kinds of emails?

I'm afraid I would condemn him ... well 'condemn' is a bit harsh, but I'd criticise him on behalf of myself and all the other overworked sysadmins who get too much email as it is, especially from high-volume lists such as debian-user (which is, after all, *not* a recruitment/job-search mechanism). I would say it's okay to include a .sig describing your employment needs, but that's the limit of acceptability - max 3 lines. Something like "Experienced sysadmin/developer available for hire - 10 years admin on all kinds of Un*x, and 5 years C++ programming. Please email me for more details". And this .sig may *only* be attached to an email on the list which discusses something relevant to the list charter - otherwise it's spam. Sorry. Nick -- Never FDISK after midnight
