I have found the BostonContractors list an interesting source of discussion, and once in a while a contract lead or two float by. Here is the short blurb at the bottom of postings:
The BostonContractors list is strictly for independent contractors and corporate recruiters. No agencies or third party reps please. Please respect the spirit of the group keep messages on topic, and content relevent. For full charter information or other questions, please see: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bostoncontractors Here is the info on the yahoo groups site: This is an email list for contractors and direct hire clients in the greater Boston market. The purpose is to provide an avenue for contractors to find clients directly, avoiding intermediary recruiting agencies, allowing contractors in general to command higher rates. Only contractors and end clients are allowed on this list - no recruiting agencies will be permitted. Your privacy is protected and you may receive email alerts to contract job openings without giving up your identity to the group. Hourly rates will not be marked up to the client, however, it is likely at some point in the future clients may pay a per job or annual membership fee.
