As system administrator of THE SOLUTION I would like to state our stand on
the issue of Head-hunter postings to net.jobs.

I am perfectly aware of Susan's postings to net.jobs. It is my opinion, and 
the opinion of THE SOLUTION, that Susan's contributions are both appropriate
and in the spirit of Usenet in general. I will outline my points to
substantiate this:

1) Net.jobs is FOR posting jobs. This is what she is doing.
2) Only job openings are posted. (No candidates seeking jobs).
3) Susan's fees are 100% client company paid. There are NO fees to the
   people responding to Sue's postings.

She is basicaly providing a free service for the benefit of people on the net.
She does not court client companies by using Usenet. I am hard-pressed to
find rational for the opinion that providing job opprotunities for people
on the net, free of cost, is in anyway taking advantage of Usenet or those
people. And I am very tired of reading complaints from people regarding the
extra traffic on the net, when in fact, their flames burden the net much more
than the original postings. I also see much more useful substance in AA's
net.jobs postings than in a good share of the trash that spools around the
net everyday carrying personal attacks and idiotic content.
