A thought, the internet is a self righting economy. I am not saying blast 
people with spambots, but I think it is perfectly fair for everyone not 
interested in the jobs posted politely respond with a poilte "Not interested" 
email. A person who subscribes to this list for the sole purpose of send a 
job req, thinks that it  is not rude, well it must not be rude to reply. 

A policy that keeps the people who want to go good and right on the right side 
of the list is a good thing. Personally, I don't mind job posting here, as 
long as they don't flood the list.

Just as people on the phone in line at the grocery store don't think it is 
rude to be yelling in my ear, should not think it rude when I talk to the 
person behind them in the line. I don't think a 'No thanks' reply from 
everyone who was interrupted on this list is rude.

Just my grumpy overtired 2 cents

Thanks
Brian
