The point here is not so much that job ads shouldn't get posted, just that they should get posted to the right news group. Then if you are looking for a job you don't look under comp.databases.informix which is for technical issues on Informix products, rather you look under something like jobs.databases.informix for job only postings. > 2) I do agree wholeheartedly with your suggestion of format.

The problem with a filter is that someone who didn't know the format, such as a newbie to the group would never get a reply to their post if the subject had the word 'JOB' in it. > 3) I also get tired of the reposts of the same jobs over and over, but > if your convention of LOCATION, OPPORTUNITY were adhered too, I'd be able > to delete the postings I'd already read/saved. Unless it really was a new OPPORTUNITY in that LOCATION. :-) I think the LOCATION should definitely include the country. > 4) One line I'd like to see added is a line for Web address.
