The one posting that mattered was Luiz's??

Thanks!

I've read damn close to every single message on this list for the past 5 
years, one might say I'm quite invested in it being kept at a 
professional level.
I rarely post, unless I find a motivated reason to do so, and 
recruiter-spam of this sort warranted a response that I think is shared 
by most people reading this list.

What you just wrote is fluff, it doesn't even hint of any level of 
thought, and is nothing more than what should have been kept for the 
loitering coworkers by your local coffee oasis.
What am I, or anyone else, supposed to get from comments like that?

Yes, all form of public communication could in one sense or another be 
classified as group dynamics. And?
It's hardly fascinating, most people here are busy with solving or 
discussing problems, helping,  and in general discussing lua,
so for someone to participate in said means of communication based 
solely on the premise of it being an interesting 'psychological experiment'
is degrading to the people actually involved in it..

You even stated you invited yourself to attack, wtf is the point of that??


I'm done with this thread now, the point has been made, and I welcome 
any -serious- discussion for the proliferation of lua in the work place.
