Sheesh.  What's the big difference? "Why should Companys, Universities,
and private individuals pay for" *anyone's* "advertising cost?" Why should
they pay for reviews about books or movies?  Please understand, I am not
saying that they *shouldn't*.  But any mention on the net of job
availability falls into this category then doesn't it?  And when someone
is looking for a job and posts a resume which is read by a company who
hires him or her didn't both benefit from the *FREE* ride?

In any event, look again.  The net already *is* flooded with every
possible item for sale.  And these "ads" are often sent with the widest
possible distribution.  (It will be a while before the NJ Dinette Set
will be forgotten, no?)

You are volunteering to moderate?  What will be your criteria for
an allowable posting?  (I'm not sure you'd make a good moderator.
You're too testy :-).)
