Sorry I didn't post your whole article, Steve, but I was more curious about
what (and why) "The Solution" is than the headhunters stuff...

This has had me curious for a while.  I thought commercial use of the net
was not allowed!!!  The only rationalization I could come up with would be
that if you pay to be on "The Solution" and read the news, you are really
paying for the access time to HIS computer; what you choose to do with your
online time there (ie read the news) is your own business.

I would greatly appreciate comments etc. through news or mail - perhaps even
some comments to netnews from the admin. of "The Solution" ?
