What we decide will actually have not effect as we cannot stop someone posting anything to this news group. > I agree with David. OFF with the job postings and ON with > comp.informix.jobs.

I would love to but dont have the resources, I work for a bank and have them paranoid enough about us Informix DBAs leaving. If I ask them to host comp.databases.informix.jobs, well they may have a heart attack! It may all be a moot point anyway. comp.database.informix.jobs is a good idea. Except that it gives head hunters two informix newsgroups in their postings, instead of the current one. We cant keep the job postings out but the way the voting is going at the moment we will not want them. So myself and other concerned individuals will send "polite" e-mails to the posters telling them to bugger off. Actually for a joke I might tell them to post to comp.databases.informix.jobs. Maybe one of them will decide to host it once they find it does not exist! Hopefully they will eventually get the idea that they are doing more harm than good for their organisations by posting here.
