True, that made me laugh.

Thank you for contacting NYTimes.com.
This article was published in the NYTimes.com Job Market section.
Article is by Bharat Mediratta; as told to Julie Bick.
The Job Market section is essentially equivalent to a
help wanted section of a paper.

A sub I guess. Thanks karzeem for being so critical. I'll be restricting the urls next time to tech or the main page of NYT. So another way to check for Submarines is to check both the location of the article in the paper (ie: is it in Tech, news or Jobs) and if the format, layout and bylines smell "funny".

Good point.
Maybe you are right. Maybe it is a submarine ( http://paulgraham.com/submarine.html ) because I found the same post over on the Monster job section of the NY Times ~ http://jobmarket.nytimes.com/pages/jobs/ captured here ~ http://flickr.com/photos/bootload/1685017453/
