Hi,

My name is Charles Bernoskie and I noticed that XYZ Corp is looking 
for a LAMP developer. Many of the qualifications you are looking for in a 
developer (e.g. PHP, Python, MySQL, Java) are identical to those of a 
daily Stack Overflow user.

Stack Overflow is the largest programming community(Over 20mm visitors 
per month) with the fastest growing career section for developers on the 
internet. We offer a satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely 
satisfied with our service, we will issue you a full refund. 

Also, if you are not familiar with Stack Overflow, please ask a developer about us. 

Please take a look at the attached information or visit careers.stackoverflow.com. 
We would love to help you find your engineering talent.


Kind Regards,
Charles Bernoskie

@Nickv82 nope, you are wrong. Whether you or anyone else wants to admit it, DHH and 37S handled it wrong. There is no way around that. I didnt turn around and verbally abuse him for it, i told him to "Stop Whining". Scroll up and read what I said. Also, he publicly pasted the email here on a forum meant for public discussion and thats what I did.

@cpjolicoeur 👍

So what would be the socially acceptable way to promote such a service? It's easy to complain about this kind of thing, but I don't see anyone suggesting a better way to do it. Or does everyone feel that the only mistake was not including opt-out instructions? By the way, opt out instructions are a great way for hackers to trick people into visiting a malicious website... just saying...
