Who wouldn't want to get paid for doing something they like? This mailing list presents an excellent opportunity for matching the demand with the talent. I support the posting to the list of jobs or opportunities provided that the post is short and to the point. Employment consultant waffle should be derided mercilessly, and the poster should ask for replies to be sent off list. Cheers Ross Drummond
