Dear Moderator,
I personally find this message offensive, completely off the topic of this
list and seeded with anti-immigration messages. I do hope that the person
who posted this message to the 'webproducers' list is struck off. This
breach of netiquette should not be tolerated.
Trying to link IT jobs to the issuing of visas to "immigrant workers" is
completely unfounded - I spent 20 minutes checking over 6 newspaper sites
to try and find a reference to these 'changes' without finding one - I
challenge the author to raise at least 2 references to their claims (but
off the list of course :).
Additionally the author alters their message, first suggesting that funds
have been 'cut off' and finally conceding that it is a 'pending policy
change'. Regardless it is NOT for this list.
Scare mongering is nothing to do with creating web sites.
Disappointed,
Scott Spence
