This is your eigth email in less than a year total; the list membership does not change that quickly, so everyone got your email by now. No more than one email a year would be a more reasonable schedule. We discussed already, last September, the fact that advertising to the caml-list with a description that mentions OCaml programming is rather disingenuous, given that none of the job descriptions available on your website, such as https://voleon.simplicant.com/jobs/18439/detail, mention the OCaml language at all. It would be polite to restrict caml-list job posting to jobs that involve significant programming in OCaml or at least a strongly related language that could be of interest to a large part of the community.
