Doostang, you're insane

More idiocy from Doostang:

Hey John,

Thanks for your email – we’ll let a few pass through (like your’s). Basically our members aren’t coders – mostly finance/entertainment/consulting etc people.

Thanks,

Mareza

Funny, if you run a search for developer or "software engineer" you get more than 1000 hits. Funny that Doostang posts developer jobs on their site. I think it's a condescending attitude -- there are plenty of people in finance and consulting who are coding and providing value.

I'll probably get my profile deleted for posting this, but so what. Doostang isn't going to much a service with ridiculous and illogical rules like this.

No developer jobs on Doostang?

Maybe this is why I got kicked off of Doostang in the past:

Hi John,

I hope that you are well. Please note, Doostang is currently not accepting tech/developer jobs. Since you are a new member, we’ll keep it up for you, however, please do not post such positions in the future. We’ll hopefully be able to handle these in a year or so.

Thanks,

Mareza

I wrote to Mareza to ask why no developer positions (he's the CEO, after all) so hopefully we will find out what the story is.
