Re: Job posting
Folks - there has been a discussion among the people at Duke, myself,
and a few other interested parties about "help wanted" ads on USENET.
We have come to the tentative conclusion that they should be allowed,
but put in a separate newsgroup.  This is important because some sites
will want to turn them off, either due to resource problems, or because
it makes it harder to justify being on USENET if their employees are
tempted to jump ship.  So consider this an announcement of net.jobs,
to be used to post "help wanted" type ads.  Please don't use net.general
for job ads.

There has also been the suggestion of allowing advertisements for products
and services, in a separate newsgroup such as net.commercial or net.ad.
No decision has been reached on this issue, and I bet there are lots of
hot opinions on the topic.  If you have an opinion on this issue, feel
free to discuss it in net.news.group (PLEASE, don't followup this article,
it will go to the wrong newsgroup!)

       Mark
