The problem with job lists is that they quickly get swamped by agencies. I can't see a problem with individuals posting occasional mentions of jobs on this list though. "Reply off list" seems to handle most of the issues. I disagree with the moderator on this one. I think that the legal issues mentioned above are more to do with discussing what happens at a particular company, rather than the details of a particular post. That is a hazard with any discussion, and has nothing to do with job ads specifically. How do other people feel about this?
