For what it's worth, I enjoy seeing the job postings, announcements and even the occasional feel-good off-topic question. The list has garnered a huge gathering of talent and momentum - a threaded mailing list view might be your answer, but I vote to keep it as is (and growing).
I've learned so much here, and it seems to be a never ending trove of great people and information in one big, wonderful soup-of-the day. Static is always the price to pay for popularity. Regarding recruiters: this career is exploding - when the recruiters stop knocking and looking for people, worry! We're in a recession and the jobs still abound - smile, it's a good time for us! I'm enjoying the growth and opportunities of this creative and interesting career path. Apologies if this offends - just wanted to voice a positive opinion of thanks and great respect to the people here. -Dan On Mar 27, 2008, at 8:15 AM, Zack Frazier wrote: > Here goes ... > > First, I admit that I am not an IA but rather a developer who believes > in creating a synergy with IAs and designers to help solve our common > problems. > > That being said, this list has become unmanageable. > > There are great discussions happening here but it is becoming > increasingly hard to find them amongst the job postings, event > announcements, feel-good off-topic questions, and especially the > numerous snarky replies.
