Hi Amol,
Sorry to barge in as I am not a regular member of this list and don't even read mails on this alias for months.
It's OK sometimes I do the same when I'm busy.
But couldn't resist to reply to such arrogant mail.
Arrogant?
I understand your concern but this is certainly not the way to treat such mails.
And how exactly did I treat it? Sure I deleted it!
What is so entertaining or riduculous about this mail that made u laugh.. If you are a student or fresher then I really don't know what to say as you can't understand feelings of the person who is trying all ways to get a job. If you are an experienced person then remember the old days..
Well, now you've motivated me enough to trod upon the theory of mailing lists... Mailing lists are primarily mechanisms to share and distribute information that benefits the community that subscribes to it at large. How does Aliasagar's mail benefit us, or what does it share?
Sure, he may be in a tight/desperate position; but this is _not_ the way one should ask help. Aliasagar has acted irresponsibly. In fact, this mail might have done him more harm than good. If I'm in some company's HR department I'd make sure that people who act without responsibility don't get in.
And above all else, this list (like most lists) is archived. One small clever search can yield a lot. Trust me, the shame sticks.
Hi Aliasgar,
Don't get discouraged by such mails and keep trying.. I am sure you'll land into a good opportunity soon.
Aliasagar, firstly, no offence meant. Try you must, but try in places or lists that are more job oriented. Every room in your house has a primary use. You wouldn't pee in the living room and cook food in the toilet.
Places on the Internet like web-sites/mailing lists etc. have a primary function too. The function for this particular list happens to be topics related to GNU/Linux and NOT jobs.
You should look at what's going on, read usage policies etc. before making your move. Doing anything you want anywhere you want will only get you cruel mails like these.
I wish you all the luck for your career and sincerely hope that you act in a more responsible fashion in the future.
Regards,
Amol Hatwar. [Regretful of the fact that such a rally actually happened; But happy that this mail will make things more clearer to the unawares]
