Hi,

I love (ironic) the following paragraph of the announcement which has 
just appeared on the list! This will make my day !

/"//Women are expressly invited to submit their application. According 
to the pursuant legal requirements, applicants with disabilities will be 
preferably treated in the appointment procedure. "/
