If (and it's a big if, since Holly for one is apparently interested in job postings) we decide that we do not want job postings in this forum, then what can we do? Obviously we can request that recruiters not post here, and the responsible / ethical ones won't. What about the others? Walt, can you program your mail rerouter to not forward messages from selected addresses? Seems to me like a reasonable feature, tho' the current software may not provide it.
