   I understand net etiquette as excluding postings which are
   intended for commercial gain, but that a single posting of
   a new product announcement is allowed (not repeated monthly,
   though, for example).

   Perhaps this could be bent to allow special exceptions, when
   it is of general benefit to the net at large. I found mdee's
   posting quite unoffensive, giving a brief announcement of a
   job not unlike others posted by employers. 

   On the other hand, I despise headhunters, and would be quite
   pleased if every one in existence simply disappeared forever,
   say, tomorrow.

   If commercial use of the net became a problem (e.g. 35 postings
   per day for COBOL programmer jobs in Wretchville, Nevada) then
   the obvious solution is for bothered sites to cease feeding 
   systems which feed headhunters.

   Marilyn Dee, do you get the hint?
