	Aren't there many students that use the net?  Headhunters
might be helpful to them.  I have met many headhunters in my career
and some of them are creeps and some of them are nice.  One called
me periodically for a few years and when a friend graduated from
college (who I recommended as a UNIX expert) the headhunter 
spend weeks getting him job interviews and such.   That sure beats
the hell out of going to "recuitment day" and going to the tables
signing up for interviews.   After all, headhunters talk money.
When I first started programming professionally I had no
idea what the going rate was.

	I think that as long as the commercial stuff does not get
out of hand (what is it now, 0.01% of the traffic?) it provides
a useful service.   If some company, say in Santa Cruz,
offered a better environment and a better peice of the action than
some big company, say in Santa Clara, and the big company 
does not want to let the wage slaves know about it for fear they
would "follow the drinking gourd" to freedom, all they have
to do it to add the entry: !net.jobs in their sys file.
