Job ads in CLUG.

[Richard]

I dont see a problem with targeted email.  People sell/give away goods 
on the list too. and thats is not a problem. I personally think you are 
over-reacting at the 'Quantity' as the job mails I find useful, but 
there are only one or two job adverts per month... Is that a problem?  I 
am sure you get more email adverts for Viagra in your mailbox.

Most agents give a 'finders fee' for successful placement, why not ask 
for the finders fee to to to the Clug admin for hosting and such.
