Hi,



I wonder what kind of job this is. Anyone can search on the Internet to find how to say \"hi\" in different languages. Why post it in the job offer section?

I received that message like a plague today... Mar 1, 2002

My e-mail Inbox at one point today had 12 messages announcing this \"job\" entitled \"Please tell me how to say hi\" in different language pairs.



Since I don\'t work on over half those pairs, I thought it must be a virus... I quickly deleted them all.

Mistake? Mar 1, 2002

I saw it as well but just thought someone had probably clicked on the wrong boxes and ended up in \"Post job\" instead of \"Ask a pro\". I just found it quite strange (or should I say amuzing?)that there were several people who had posted a bid.

Hi Mar 1, 2002

I agree with you. It\'s totally silly.
