I don't think headhunter ads should appear in the mainstream groups, even if they may be useful, for the same reason other ads don't appear in relevant mainstream groups: 'cause that ain't how it works. Biz.all, on the other hand, was created to address this. -- John R.

Last time I looked, the general guidelines for commercial postings on Usenet and the specific guidelines for headhunter postings in misc.- jobs.offered were pretty similar. The principal rules were: * Identify the posting as being a commercial/headhunter posting. * Keep it factual, avoiding hype; headhunters should advertise only in connection with actual openings. * Don't post for the same product or opening more than once. * And as always, post only to the specific relevant group(s). Seems perfectly reasonable to me to accept headhunter postings in can.jobs on similar terms. -- Mark Brader "Computers get paid to extract relevant SoftQuad Inc., Toronto information from files; people should not utzoo!sq!msb, msb@sq.com have to do such mundane tasks." -- Ian Darwin This article is in the public domain.
