Re: *** DO YOU MIND IF I POST JOBS IN THE FUTURE?

Your opinion may >vary and I will vigorously defend your right to be wrong :-) Well, you're wrong. If you meant only comp.lang.cobol, you'd still be wrong; as long as there are job newsgroups, jobs do not belong in other groups. This is the basic principle of the hierarchy; the most relevant group is the topical one. With a very few exceptions, discussion and technical groups are inappropriate for ads, let alone for job postings. When we want jobs, we read misc.jobs.offered, or misc.jobs.contract. When I am not reading a job newsgroup, I am presumed uninterested in jobs, and should not be subjected to some lazy headhunter's latest way to skimp on the effort. I'm fine with them posting in jobs newsgroups; that's what those groups are for. -s -- Peter Seebach - seebs@solon.com - Copyright 1996 Peter Seebach. C/Unix wizard -- C/Unix questions?
