I hope this person is not trying to spam web BBS's, wikis, etc.

Beau Gould is the owner and moderator of what was until very recently
the 'pythonzopejobs' group on groups.yahoo.com. Two days ago, I got a
PHP/MySQL job from a Yahoo Groups address I didn't recognize.
Initially, I classified it as spam, and forgot about it.

Today, I had reason to search the archives of 'pythonzopejobs', and was
greeted by a message that the group didn't exist. A little
investigation showed that I was now subscribed to an
'allopensourcejobs' group, and that this was in fact the renamed
'pythonzopejobs' group, not to mention the souce of the PHP/MySQL
'spam' job posting.

I posted to the list and CC'd the owner/moderator (Mr. Gould), asking
why such a change had been made with no discussion or announcement. I
soon realized that the group had become moderated again, and that my
email was not reaching the other group members.

After a few exchanges with Mr. Gould asking that the list be returned
to it's previous focus or that at the very least a message announcing
the change be sent to the group, it became clear (despite some
half-hearted and insincere reassurances on his part) that Mr. Gould now
considered the list his personal fiefdom, and that he was intent on
using it as an opt-out spam list to extract whatever value he could.

Mr. Gould then changed the name of the group again (this time to
'opensourcejobs'), possibly in a bid to make it even harder to
unsubscribe (though that is speculation on my part), and I was banned
from the group. Further email from me to Mr. Gould has been ignored.

I have personally forwarded Mr. Gould's job postings from the
pythonzopejobs list to various candidates on several occasions in the
past, but I won't be doing that any more, and based on my experience
today I cannot recommend doing business with Mr. Gould or Superior
Staffing Services.
