  Consider a company that is not an employment agency.   If this
company posts a job opening to the net, are the applicatants the ONLY
people to benefit from such a posting?!  Of course not.  The company 
benefits if they find the right person, and the right person gets the
job he was looking for.
  UseNet is about getting ideas and information to people.  Specifically
people who use computers.  I can see nothing more absurd than stopping
employment agencies from posting job openings, and letting other companies
continue.  Especially when one considers the frequency with which most
users of the net change jobs.
