Now there may be hundreds of folks out there who do like them -- but I don't know any. So, again, we are left with the problem of ``what to do with postings you don't like''. There are several approaches. If it only bugs you a bit, you can use your `n' key. If it bugs you a *lot*, you can send mail to the poster. I suspect that if the headhunters were innundated with ``DONT DO THIS -- WE DONT LIKE IT'' messages, they would stop. Of course, it would be a good idea to post a ``never-expiring'' article to net.jobs saying that we don't like it. If everyone who mailed Frank Adrian mailed the headhunters, they would get the idea. They would still be free to post articles, but would they consider it worth it? Of course, if we can't get people to complain, then I suppose that not very many people really mind the headhunters, and the minority are going to have to plead their case better. Somehow I don't think that this is the case here... Laura Creighton utzoo!laura
