Technically, it is following an on-topic thread - albeit barely. The moderators are supposed to just stop the job spam* from getting to the group (of which everyone does a fine job) and I ban the spammers every so often. Although, as of late, I have noticed a significant decline in the quality of the posts and, in some cases, have been reluctant to accept them. BTW, there might be a direct correlation to when Yahoo Answers (answers.yahoo.com) showed up and the degradation in quality posts. I encourage you to watch Answers for a while. What is impressive is the average 5 minute or less response times to questions. The downside is that most questions are asked in the subject line or a short one-sentence description of the problem...habits that seem to carry over to lists like c-prog. Perhaps we need to re-evaluate the post acceptance strategy. I'm beginning to think a set of well-developed "canned responses" are in order to keep quality posts coming into the group while still answering very newbie questions. I personally despise getting a canned response, but that is only because such a response is usually completely useless. So whatever response is used will have to have enough relevant information for the response to be useful. * Some jobs do get through to the group but that only happens when recruiters pay careful attention and follow the rules very closely. All jobs posted MUST go through me. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task. Stay on task. http://www.CubicleSoft.com/MyTaskFocus/
