It can go the other way too; I've got one of my last contracts because
someone was interested in an app. based on a few ports I maintain and
saw I was active on the respective mailing lists.

As you know, this is a volunteer effort; your report was. of course,
useful :) I thought hat since you clicked on those links, providing a
list with the broken ones would have been easy.

Actually the first inconvenient thing for you would be the salary; I
doubt there are (many) Romanian companies that could/would pay you at
the same level an US one would.

I doubt you'll find much anti-americanism here; e few days ago our
president has discussed with mr. Bush about US military bases here.

But that might change in the future. US [leaders] choosed your country
foreign policy to be based on military force (somehow a valid decision
probably because no other strong enough force exists). But more
disturbing is the way they choose to be part of / obey the ruling of the
international organisms only when they support US position (Kyoto and
TPI Vienna accords are recent examples).
