People were just afraid to post them because they thought it might be misuse of the net. At Berkeley, I see local messages posted announcing jobs quite frequently (at least one a week). This is because employers call Berkeley in the hopes Berkeley will send them a Berkeley student who is about to graduate. I suspect many other top universities are the same way, although Berkeley does have a unique reputation for UNIX. (Hopefully, Berkeley can be convinced to feed their incoming stream into net.jobs as well as the local msgs system.) I may have jumped the gun, however, by creating net.jobs. Someone suggested that net.ad.jobs is merely a special case of net.ad. This should still be considered a possibility - comments are welcome. Mark
