Save our jobs.

That sounds like a great idea, tho...and right afterwards...

...it would be kewl if we could all toss our corporate/academic/govt. connections
into a virtual hat, crunch them up into a BayLISA-only database, and configure some cron-job
to spew-out focused and concise application letters to their HR Hiring Managers or "jobs@" email addies.

Not at all like spamming, but more like an organized effort to promote BayLISA members
experience, professionalism and availability via our own technical expertise in these things.

Well, maybe we ought not to, but it was inspiring concept, anyway...in my own mind.

[Sorry]  ;-)
