Hans,

I would be willing to moderate that list.  Although, that solution seems 
to already exist in the market place and I am not sure we really need it. 

I think there is something unique about how our job list works and it 
feels like a real meritocracy and provides for a open two way channel.  
If we cut off half that, then we become more like a media channel and 
the conversation becomes one sided.  I would like to imagine that our 
complaints (suggestions) about the job listings have improved the 
quality of them.

Maybe I am alone, but I have  found the recent discourse on this list to 
be of more value then the talk list and would like to keep it lively. If 
we give the recruiters a way out, a 'safe harbor' for posting, then we 
opt to exclude ourselves from half the conversation.  Your email the 
other day really outlined why this list is important and worthwhile.
