Job ads in CLUG.

I guess it's currently a gift economy; the CLUG mailing list gives free
exposure to job advertisers, and gives subscribers free access to
interesting jobs. One might hope that some of the money saved on placement
agencies goes to charity, one might suggest it, or one might require it.

Separately, if people are annoyed by the job postings, why not ask job
posters to include the string "[JOB OFFER]"/"[JOB WANTED]" in the subject
line?

The people with good jobs can route anything from CLUG with that string to
/dev/null, and if job posts start to eat serious bandwidth it could be
made a subscription option. It would also make it easier to post the jobs
on the website, should anyone find it worthwhile to do that :-).

My 1p worth, at current exchange rates.
