Is this really the way to get your name out? (was: Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo is Looking for Information Technology-related Job Opportunities World Wide)

[David Niklas <doark@mail.com>]

Every so often I see something very much like this on the debian mailing
list.
I want to know, do people really get a job this way?
Is this list really intended for these kinds of emails?

Sincerely,
David
