[Tig] colorist available

[Rob Lingelbach]

Yes, this ad is international in scope (the internet being what it  
is) but yours is one of many complaints
I received.  I'm aware of the 1st world's laws on discrimination, but  
doubt that I could be a waitress at
Hooters.  When the ad originally was sent to me, the sender, who is  
not the one responsible for the language
or policies, was upset and chagrined about how the ad would be  
perceived.  I was doing enough TIG work at the
time that the full implications of the text didn't hit me until I  
started getting the complaints.

I'll pull the ad and ask for the language to be changed before  
reposting it.

regards
Rob
