anyone who whinges about this should really consider what they are doing.

There are Syrian refugees out there who would sell their grandmother for my left nut just for the privilege of having some privileges. so stop the whining

If you feel that strongly about them, perhaps you should donate a portion of your income to them?

Don't give a crap after all?

Resume the moaning!

Doesn't mean we can't have a good old moan about it!

On the SAP forums I often see someone posting a specification and requesting that someone supply then with the code. E.g.
https://scn.sap.com/thread/627070
I need help in classical report | SCN
https://scn.sap.com/thread/625608
HI PROVIDE ME TEST DATA | SCN

I thought that's what this thread was about.

We are currently recruiting for a number of roles and I can see from your CV that you have relevant skills that might be suited to one of them - can you give me an idea of what you are looking for?

I've attached a link to a list of our current vacancies, please let me know if any are of interest.

Best Wishes,
Daria
