Traditionally, postings to net.jobs have been by or for *explicitly
named* companies.  AA Personnel and "The Solution" are hiding that
information and are in fact using that resource without naming
who the position is with.

I think it would *should* be an established "rule" that postings
to net.jobs give the Name of the company and a contact person.
Anything else should be considered as an ad and therefore a violation
of Usenet ethics.

So I agree with Steve on this matter.

Net.jobs should be a market place for companies and prospective
employees, and not commerical intermediaries.
