There is very little difference between a headhunter and a 
corporate recruiter.  Well, maybe the profit incentive is a little
bigger for the headhunter.    But I bet at a lot of companies 
the recruiters get paid by the piece.
    By your reasoning, we shouldn't let programmers post
technical questions to the net if they happen to be entrepreneurs,
rather than employees of one of the "big" companies that pay
"most" of the phone bills.  
    Assuming that "net.jobs" exists at all, you will have to 
accept that many postings to it will have a profit motive.  
It would be fair (but not desirable in my view) if net.jobs is
restricted to postings from job seekers only.  If you allow 
employers to post, you must also allow their agents, the headhunters.
