It was a joke.  Surely you didn't take that seriously.  On the other
hand, Americans really can offer home-grown competition to inexpensive,
offshore labor.  I was not referring to Russians who move here to work,
who are paid competetively, so much as the use of cheap offshore labor
in the software industry generally. Everything certainly doesn't depend
on qualificatios and willingness to work; in fact very little does, but
that subject really is off-topic. Remeber you brought it up. And of
course everything was invented in Russia, including the sewing machine
and digital computer.  

Anyway, all these comments (including mine) are just as offtopic as the
original spam.  Please do not repond to spam, flamebait or trolling on
this list.
