That's a valid point.  So would there be *any* outlet for a Linuxhead,
especially someone within our little fiefdom, to post their availability
for employment?  Maybe have another list to complement the job-postings-
only list that could be for job-seekers?  Or maybe just let the occasional
re'sume' fly though the regular ALE list like Kevin did today?

Sorry to be so passionate about all this, but I just remember back when
I was suffering from underemployment in the early oh-two that there
seemed to be a slight sense of anti-job-seeker-posting on the list.  I
wound up resorting to personally hitting up random ALE posters
individually for job leads (thanks, Jerry!).
