It is not my desire to engage in a word contest with the above author
or anyone else, and Marilyn Dee certainly has no need of a defense
other than the one she is most capable of providing herself.  I am
certainly able to recognize that there are those who would find the
type of posting in question objectionable, whether because of a
philisophical repugnance or because of economic considerations.  It
is my understanding, however, that the primary purpose of the news
network is the exchange of information and ideas.  If the existence
of job openings is not information, then we really do have a problem.

No offense intended, but I find people who waste my time complaining
about 'distasteful' articles to be guilty of that about which they
are complaining.  Peace!
