I was trying my best to keep my mouth shut, but I must say I have to
agree with David.  There have been almost as many posts on this thread
as there have been to this list *ALL YEAR* so far.

If you find it that difficult to actually figure out whether or not a
particular post is offering a job or somebody looking for a job, MAYBE
YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY TRY READING IT INSTEAD OF BITCHING ABOUT IT.  There
have been numerous posts from you (Julian) complaining about posters not
including the location.  BIG FREAKING DEAL.  Email them privately and
ask if you can't be bothered to take the 3 seconds and whois the domain
name.

Then there are those who bitch about jobs not being relevant to this
list, but the fucked up part about that is that at least one of the
people bitching HAS A JOB.  Why would you people think that just because
it isn't a FreeBSD-only job and relevant to this list people who are
jobless and desperate don't want to read it?

Anyway, I've ranted enough on this now, and this will be my last post
about it.  For the record, I see no real reason whatsoever to split the
list into two lists since it doesn't get that much traffic to begin
with.  If you can't be bothered to actually read through the posts made
here to see if it's a job posted or a job wanted, why even bother being
subscribed?
