Uh, most working individuals are "for-profit" too. I don't see a big problem with companies posting about availability as long as they keep it as a rare thing (every 18 months?) and it doesn't escalate. If it does I am sure we can figure out to make it stop. :-) Posting both jobs and availability at the urls you posted sure sounds like a better idea though. -- ask bjoern hansen, http://askbjoernhansen.com/ !try; do();
