	I got a phone call from our personnel office yesterday wanting to
know why I had placed an ad for a position available.  After a bit of
confusion, it would seem that there was an ad placed on net.jobs from
somebody here announcing a position available.  I certainly didn't place
it, and nobody else admits to placing it either.  Furthermore, I read
net.jobs and never saw the article.

	So one of several things happened, all of which seem equally
unlikely.  Maybe some site resent some old news (and I mean old; I think
the last ad we placed on net.jobs was about 1-1/2 years ago).  Maybe
somebody forged an article (for what reason, I can't imagine).  Perhaps
some bug squashed the top of a net.jobs article onto the signature part of
a real article from here (*very* farfetched)?  I had posted an article to
net.jobs earlier this week complaining about the Nicaragua articles on that
group.  I supposed it's just barely possible that some people were confused
by that and figured we had a position open, but from talking to one person
who responded, I don't think that's the case.

	In any event, PHRI does not currently have any positions open for
programmers.  If you saw an article on net.jobs that indicated otherwise, I
would greatly appreciate getting a copy of that article.  If there was
anything that we did unknowingly to suggest that we did, please accept my
apologies for any inconvenience and confusion.
