Just a minute; I didn't get 'personal' in my reply, and my reply was
inextricably tied to my experience with our local STC chapter. And, I
have read the previous entries, thank you.

I'm sorry that you're finding offense where none was intended. How else am I to refer back to your comments if "your statement" is personal?

As for mentioning the previous entries, past experience has shown me that it's a mistake to assume that everyone on a mailing list has been following a thread from its beginning.

None of which runs counter to anything I said. If you have the time to go to an STC meeting, it can't hurt your job search.However, you can't expect too much for it.

The same holds true for most of the other favorite methods of job-hunting, such as reading the want ads or using the job-boards on the Internet. They may help, but they're not the most effective methods.
