I have no more information. {Sargent Shultz says “I know nuthin, Nuting, Nothing at all”!} I put it all in the post. Writing me for more info is a waste of your time and mine.

If you’re interested, leave a blog comment with your name and email. I’ll either send you the contact info, or forward your info to them. Depending upon what they prefer. Either way, you’ll get something back from me.

Note: Don’t put your email in the comment itself unless you want spam from a trollbot. The comment form allows you to put your name, email, and website address.

You might want to include a link to a http://www.emurse.com/ resume or such similar site. I recommend making oneself easy to be found.

You might want to take time to write a short cover on it. You never know who reads these things. You might find your own lead from it (i.e., someone, looking to hire an X, finds me saying someone is looking for X, and ‘poaches’ all the people who responded.). YMMV

Good luck and good hunting.
