I take it this refers to the MSWord document, which was not attached but
embedded in the mail message. It's annoying enough to receive attachments
that are unreadable unless one has a particular application software, but
at least those who do can save the attachment as a file thmat later can be
submitted to the application. When it's embedded in the message, one must
save the whole message including the embedded file, and later edit the
saved file to remove the front end (header and message) that will only
confuse the application. Even more annoying. Especially when one
doesn't have the application.

As I understand such things, doubtless imperfectly, FAQ stands for
"Frequently Asked Questions". A list of FAQ would therefore not include
questions that are asked rarely, one would suppose. So, in your search
of messages posted to this list, how many position-wanted requests did
you find? Zero? One?
I am inclined to agree with Glen Barnett, who wrote

(Actually, for some of us it's not a newsgroup, it's a list: edstat .)
One would have thought your post more appropriate to, say, the AERA list
for Division D:
"AERA-D Division D: Measurement and Research Methodology" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
