Midlands UK company looking for a team of 11 embedded Engineers

Those are very skilled people you want.

I was looking for basic embedded people and found them very hard to find.

If your looking for basic embedded programming people, I'm a college student with experience. If you'd be willing to entertain a newly graduating computer engineer, I would love to hear more. I want to travel desperately!

Me, I want to travel in comfort and style!

That collection of accented upper case As and other peculiar chars does not enhance your article. I suggest you pick another char format.

Does this have something to do with taking a sleeper car with a poster of Sabrina on the ceiling?

CBFalc>That collection of accented upper case As and other peculiar chars

Yup. This is what it looks like to a lot of folks:

CBF ever the pedant and as usual missed the main point.

BTW it looked OK whjen it left me.

No it is a self filtering system :-) I posted on Usenet MOST people don't use the broken google interface.

It looked like crap in emacs, too.

Ciao,

It's almost unreadable in Thunderbird too. Best of luck to your customer; I've only been in the trade for 25 years, so I fell down on one or two of the requirements.

Some "modern" newsreaders interpret leading non-text characters as quote flags and substitute fancier leading/trailing marks. Agent sees your sig just fine but I'll bet that if you added a leading space before the initial slash/back-slash characters then that would suppress the weird formatting that others may be seeing.

And Thunderbird (no accented capitals with standard UTF-8 character encoding, but a whole lot of question marks).

You posted using an ISP-specific newsreader, so maybe that's where your problem lies - MOST people don't use Turnpike.

Chris, I must have gotten cheated by using this lousy reader. Looked ok to me in Outlook Express.

Here is what it looks like in Netscape 7.2:

And if you do a Ctrl-R it looks like:

That's just fine if you are writing messages to yourself. Most writers here intend their deathless prose to be read by others. If you don't intend others to read it, please mark it as such plainly and early.

BTW, even in such messages to yourself, it is considered polite to snip signatures.

WRT the original post, I almost thought it was a forgery, as it did not appear to be from your normal lucid self.

Fortunately I am vastly underqualified for the job(s)

Looks like crap to me using Thunderbird here... :/
