Mike,<div><br></div><div>I believe the foundation of PLUG is the notion that members of the Plug community give freely to each other as they can. For example, a member who has many years of experience as a Linux sysadmin making 6 figures does not ask a poster to donate $5 to them for solid advice on how to fix the poster&#39;s problem. They give back to the community because they know someday they will be the poster in need of assistance one day. Or, they give out of the need to support this community out of the goodness of their heart.  With that said, I find your proposed post to be offensive and not at all in the spirit of this community. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I also agree with Mike Bydalek that your proposed post is not even close to the stated purpose of this forum - </div><div><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:15px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">We talk about the state of GNU/Linux, what we&#39;ve recently done with GNU/Linux, share problems and create solutions.

    Honestly, I don&#39;t think this is the proper forum for this.  The ride
    watching you bring up the site has been fun and entertaining, but
    this is a Linux group, not an English group.<br>
    <br>
    [snarky]You could use the free site you found and use someone
    there.  I understand there are proofreaders there ;) [/snarky]<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

      <p style="margin-bottom:0in;color:rgb(0,51,0)"><span style="color:black">You know, I
          wanted
          to find a work-from-home job so badly that I followed many
          leads and
          I got scammed many times. Good news though! I
          finally found a web page that really does give work-from-home
          job
          opportunities. These jobs range from computer programmers to
          cartoon
          artists; from telephone interviewers to social workers; from
          proofreaders to typists. A great number of other opportunities
          are also
          at this site just awaiting an applicant. I
          feel as if I should just give the webpage to you but I also
          feel I&#39;ve
          been scammed so often
          that I need to recoup some of my losses. So, simply pay $5.00
          via
          paypal
          to havens.business&lt;@&gt;gmail&lt;.&gt;com and I&#39;ll send you
          the
          site. True, you could find it on your own; but I never did in
          the
          years of my search. I had to pay substantially more than the
          five
          I&#39;m asking for... but what I did pay for is (in my opinion)
          unreasonable. I
          figure $5 is a fair
          price... not to much but perhaps too little. However, I know
          that if
          you are unemployed you are watching every penny so I
          definately don&#39;t
          want to hurt you. In fact, </span><span style="color:black">the
          site itself is free (at least it was when I used it) so there
          will be no further charges.</span><span style="color:black">

          is a lame excuse.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
