Others have already complained that this is "excessive commercialization"
of the net.  I agree, but I do like the opportunity of reading these
kinds of communications direct from the companies involved.  Looking
through my .newsrc file I notice that there IS a newsgroup called
net.jobs to which I subscribe and from which I have yet to see a notice.
Obviously this is where this type of message should be placed.  Of
course the companies offering the jobs want to use different newsgroups
to target their audience, and this is reasonable, but *DON'T* put the
whole thing in 5 different newsgroups.  Put a *short* notice in the
newsgroups of interest, directing those who want more info to a longer
entry in net.jobs.

I realize that this notice is going to those 5 newsgroups, due to
the nature of followup articles.  I'm doing this because I would like
everyone who saw the "high tech jobs" article to see this as well.
However, if anyone wants to discuss this further, let's do it in
net.jobs.  It seems to be empty anyway.
