Agreed...
I have gotten some client-contacts in Strasbourg, but the
have found my E-Mail/Address via an other Debian-List...
They told me, this list (debian-consultants) is death !

Right, and because there are some people (including me)
regulary subscribed to this list, the question is WHY ?
Maybe, some of the subscribers of this list post a schort
description of themself and about what they can support or
which services they are offering...
So if there is some one which is looking for a consoultant.
maybe the posted messages can be found via mailarchives and
our allknown Goole-God...
I like to post in german (native), english and french.

I get between 2000 and 8000 SPAMS a day and 90% comes directly
to <linux4michelle@freenet.de>
Many thanks to the developers of spamassassin.
