How did you respond to that
utterly ridiculous comment by a very, very stooopid, stoooopid person posing as a recruiter (or owner, whatever)? 
OSi ads are being removed. (SM)

The poster has been banned access.  If you see ads that I miss, please post the link to the post under this message -- it is much quicker this way today.


Thank you for all your help and Happy Thanksgiving!

I saw that you removed it and thank you

Yes, it will be removed.

You have to have them removed by

I wish we could delete them ourselves.  It would be so much easier than trying to get someone to do it for you, plus they might delete the wrong ones.


It has been removed.

I was trying to respond to both you and the poster

" a good MT should be confident enough with her knowledge and skills to not want or need anyone's pat on the back.  If you can't do a good job without a baby sitter, perhaps you should consider another line of work."


Its a bit silly to judge someone's work based on the fact they just want a little interaction with their supervisor, i've been doing this long enough, and just saying I know my stuff.  One does not have to do with the other!  You guys go far in left field for an insult.


Absolutely would rather respond to
than a company that did not.  I don't want to waste my time.  I applied at 2 in the past and after going through the hiring process, did not offer me what I wanted as they said they could not afford to pay that much and only paid a certain CPL.   Wasted my time. I will not apply now unless I know before what they will pay.
Will normally only respond to the ones that post pay
The hiring process can be so lengthy.  I am not going to go through all of that (submitting application/resume, testing, interview, and sometimes verbal testing and phone interview) only to find out in the end they aren't going to offer me the money that I'm looking for.  I want to know what they are offering up front so I don't waste my time and they don't waste theirs.
okay, I tried but I couldn't help myself, I have to respond
let me get this straight - you spent 5 years in college, are an engineer and because you can type fast you want to get into a field where you might make 20,000 the first year - but it is rather laughable that you think typing is all that is required here - when most of us who have been doing this for 20-30 years are doing good to make 30-40,000 a year and are afraid that we won't be needed much longer because of computer (as an engineer you surely are familiar with them) technologies such as speech recognition and offshoring to India where the work is cheaper.  Now after you finish training - which you will need - a lot of us will already be out of jobs - do you really think this is a viable option for you?
Thanks to all who took the time to respond!

I agree that one can do great things with virtually any expander--even with just casual use it pays for itself within weeks.  I am at the point of relying heavily on SH8 due to arthritis (400% productivity gain, heavily nested WordVBA macros, etc.) and am always eager to learn about other programs, but $150 and no free trial is a hard way to learn.  Anyone know if InstanText can handle "code" (like WordVBA macros) in the Expanders like SH8 can?  Again, thank you all for your thoughtful responses. 


Yes it goes to the company. If you respond to
any post the e-mail address is hidden. 
Did anything become of that meeting? How did they respond to you?nm

I don't respond negatively to someone asking for help . . .
whether they are asking for something that would be incredibly hard (i.e. finding a job where you could work between diaper changes, naps, etc.). However, he could find something that has a split shift or like a 10 hour window to get 8 hours of work in. There are options out there.

In regards to someone posting about wanting to work around their child's schedule? I would respond the same way. I would try and help.
Yep - otherwise, modertors would have removed it.

I was removed off an acct. after one day -sm
as the client requested I be removed. I don't remember being given any samples (several years ago). It was an ESL, a new acct. etc. So I did have blanks here and there, the MTSO had told me not to worry, they'd QA all the work. For some reason or other they did not, hence the work went through as I had left it. Needless to say the client was not happy, so I was removed from the account. I did not lose my job though, but I was peeved for sure about the whole thing. We eventually parted ways and I have not had that problem since.
The post has been removed.

Yes, the information needs to be removed
If you want to reuse some of the discs, you can reformat them and erase the info.
Had one removed many years ago...
Hurt like the dickens everytime I tried to move my hands or fingers. After removal, haven't had a problem since. Surgery was outpatient. Was able to type (though very slowly) the next day. Back to speed within a week.
Why was my post removed?
I posted a thoughtful post in reply.

I would appreciate knowing why it was removed.

Thank you.
that was going to be 'question them up-front' and see how they respond..(nm)

Well duh, to see people respond, wouldn't you think? nm x

Yes, I tend to only respond to ads that list how

I do not respond if it says competitive salary.sm
That to me means 6 to 8 cpl. The company I work for now had no pay range listed, but said excellent salary. Turned out it was. Paid by the minute now and making much more than I was by 65 character line.
Just delete them, never respond. Its a scam. nm

I am not the above person , but thought I would respond -sm
Word is Microsoft Word, there are different versions out there. Since your computer has Windows 98 on it (you don't have to look for it, if you computer turns on and boots up, at some point Windows __ will come up whether is is 98, 2000, XP)-- you can probably only use Word 97 or 2000. The other versions won't work on Windows 98 I think. As for installing it, you can do it. It is very simple, the CD (I hope you have a CD drive) will walk you through the whole installation process. Just to a "typical" install and you will be fine. You may have it on your computer already of course, it generally came on most computers. If not Word you may have Works, which I think will work too, just need to save the files as "documents" with the .doc suffix. -----------As for gross lines, that is just a method of counting lines, a "line" is any line in the document with anything on it, one word or 20 words, would be considered 1 line. So it can be a nice way to get paid, if the doctor just does not do blocks/paragraphs. Some people even charge for the blank lines but I think that is going too far personally. But if the margins are wide (1"), and the type is small, i.e. less than 12 point, then its not so hot. So if is 12 point type and not blocks of paragraphs, a sample would help you figure it out, then I would just at .13 a gross line. Good luck.
Now just try getting someone to respond to your resume and want to test you...nm

Again, thank you so much for taking the time to respond..sm
I thought I was on the right track, but I've only been an IC for five years and have never had my own accounts. I passed on your opinions to my MIL and hope she will listen. I'm leaving to go to California in a couple hours and there is no way I can do it personally, so I hope and pray she does. We really need the account.
can't respond because mailbox is full

what part of please do not respond to that perp

did you not understand...if you respond - you feed the troll - as you can see I reported all posts and 90% of his have been removed....



How do I respond to ads on the job seekers board?
This might seem like a silly question but do I just send my resume using the 'apply now' button or can I and should I also send a cover letter with it?   Does it need to be in plain text?  Thanks
Anyone know why an HP all-in-one printer would would intermittently not respond? sm
Only about 1-1/2 years old.  No new software installed on computer.  Should I uninstall and then reinstall?  I can't track any certain document/reason why it does not respond.  Thanks.
They are not allowed to post here. It is removed. (NM)

The posts that were removed were political. (SM)
It started discussion about which President was at fault for what and political views.

Stop jumping to conclusions over a reminder.

Was the post regarding Brainbench removed?

I have had nail tips put on and removed
numerous times but I always have them cut them way down the first time and then as they slowly grow you don't even notice the keyboard thing because it's a gradual thing. Before you know it you're typing with the longer nails. Done it many times and that's all that worked for me. Maybe go back and have them cut them down before removing them. I actually had people tell me the shorter nails look nicer, very natural, and long nails are pretty much out now anyway. Plus they are difficult to keep clean. You'll see. ; )
In addition, we have queued the ad to be removed
but it usually takes a few days for it to remove. 
And they are removed. If they're not, then they got missed.

Post was removed because it was not on this subject.
It was not against offshoring, it was against the other poster as well as this site.

You posted a hostile response without reason, and it was removed.

Per TOS, offshore discussions by US MTs are allowed, only postings by offshore posters are not.
The 2 posts by the individual have been removed. (SM)
They were advertising for other sites. Please report such posts when you see them.  Cher/Moderator
The post has been reported and is being removed.
Please do not respond to it.
The fact that they haven't been removed

Why it's the poster you like the Amen! posts you respond with.
Why not admonish this poster for "negativity"?   I'm bored with your game now.  You have lost all hope of following a train of thought, yours or mine.  Besides, I think you have multiple personality disorder.  Not that I know that but I suspect that.  I'm going back to work to let you and all the MQr, MQMT and MQga?? battle your private battles that have somehow become public because you have delusions of grandeur.
I would rather not respond to your questions, as your tone seems a little angry

YOU didn't respond, but the REAL Frank did.
Also cc'd the board of directors in so that could enjoy the show also.
On this format, no need to specify to whom you respond, as the setup shows you. nm

If Jacy asks a question, don't respond

Let's do a poll, would you respond to help wanted ad that listed pay
more than you would an ad that did not list pay range?  I am finding myself only responding to ads that have a pay range listed.  Does anybody else do this?  Maybe if those companies out there that needed MTs badly listed pay range then they would get more of a response!
