[LRUG] Rails developer for startup

[Mike Thomas]

My first (and only?) post to this group was with regards to an opening 
we had for a "start-up". Although I did ask the list owner permission 
first, the reception was a wee bit frosty and not at all unanticipated 
by me (as a PHP developer, I too have had offers which appear completely 
unreasonable on the face of it - and turn out to be).

However, we've since hired two of your finest, neither of which I trust 
have any complaints. I think my point is - these job posts are not 
entirely unhelpful to you as a community if the end result is people in 
jobs! I'll wager not all of you have work lined up at the door.

Recruitment agencies haven't stopped spamming me since though... and 
should rightly be shot down at the door.

Mike
