... in their community watch department after having sent out about 80 applications in 2,5 months.

The funny thing is that it requires more of a legal background than an IT background. Still a nice job with one of the few truly successful new economy companies.

Iīm feeling really good right now :-). Itīs nice to know that some company appreciates your knowledge and efforts.

Congrats, dude. Have a few drinks on me as well.

In fact, pretend I'm buying them whilst you drink. :)

Congratulations, Andreas!

Note that this rule calls for a 301, not a 302 - hopefully!

Best wishes,

Thanks guys ... already did the drinking part ;-)

And yes Jim hopefully it proves to be a 301. However, I wouldnīt mind a 300 - Multiple Choices either. Nice $rewriterule$ btw.

Donīt you like buying things now, rc? I do now that Iīve got the money ;-).

I like posting items out of category on eBay because they sell better :D I see paypal mucked up their site design with paypal logos once you log in too :D Drink some beers for me :D
