It would be far more appropriate IMHO to have a seperate "Jobs
Wanted/Needed/Offered" distribution list all it's own, with a
free-for-all attitude about job opennings, listings, resumes, etc.
It would be a cool resource for anyone on either side of the work-slot
market.
THEN I could see a REASONABLE alternative notice of 1-2 sentences posted
to groups like firewalls on a monthly basis reminding us that there is a
jobs list and how to subscribe/unsubscribe to it.
No wasted bandwidth here, and the same blurb could be wide-area
broadcast on other professional distributions (limit, 1-per-month!)
lists with just as little impact to the general population.
Who knows, perhaps there already IS one that ISN'T being broadcast all
over.
One little message once/month and discussions like THIS one wouldn't
spring up and suck-down the bandwidth.
Anyone agree?
