Should everyone be precluded from seeing help wanted ads here because of some 
(a few, I hope) companies' (silly, IMHO) policies? Do those companies also 
forbid their employees from reading newspaper classified sections or visiting 
help wanted sites on their home computers? Do the companies assign minders to 
monitor all lists subscribed by employees, or analyze all incoming email for 
forbidden thoughts and topics? Do they really think policies like that HELP 
employee retention?

More people likely see these notices here than would on Velocity's Web site, so 
this seems a better place for them. A better solution seems to be for people 
working at companies which think they can censor information their employees 
see to read the list on home computers.

I don't have a dog in this fight; I'm neither hiring nor looking to be hired, 
but companies attempting to impose discussion list restrictions like this seem 
... foolish, and that's being kind.

An additional note:
some companies forbid their employees from subscribing to listserves which
display "Help Wanted" ads.
In the current economic environment (actually, at ANY time) it would be a
shame for any subscribers
to be forced to unsubscribe from this list.
