Sorry for the way off topic post, but it's summer, and it's
slow, and I recently got an email
from someone at google.com letting me know that they 
were hiring. As far as I can tell, the email is legit. They're
not even asking for my name, SSN, bank account numbers, etc.
I assume that since many of you, unlike me, really are
programmers, or software engineers as google seems to
like to call them, you have gotten these emails before too.
What I'm curious about is why I got the email. The sender
said that she had seen some of my online posts. Is it just
because I post to 9fans and have posted to various FreeBSD
mailing lists? Does google just use its own search capabilities
and send out periodic posts to people in certain groups? What
sort of search criteria do you think they use?

Just wondering, thanks.

Greg
