I got this message from someone on the net. Those of you who read net.jobs are probably familiar with my recent posting(s) about resumes in that newsgroup. I responded to what I feel is an obnoxious habit by being twice as obnoxious. No matter. It's certainly time to move the discussion into the idea of a newsgroup dedicated to the posting of resumes. One possible name of the group could be, as suggested above, net.resumes. I tend toward a subgroup of net.jobs, namely net.jobs.resumes. Whatever you want to call, I think that the group is needed. In the first place, the general idea of net.jobs is for the posting of job ANNOUNCEMENTS. It should not be a place to announce to the netland that you want/need/are ready to get a job. So what does everybody else think? Please. No flames this time. I tried to be nice, and I think I'ver done a good job of it. -- Tracy A.

I disagree for two reasons. 1. I (and I presume most others) read net.jobs because I'm interested in the entire picture: what other people are offering and what kinds of people are available. 2. I haven't noticed that many resumes. The size of the group is small enough that even doubling the volume would not necessarily increase size so that I wouldn't want to read it. Also, I agree that resume postings will not stop, and I'm glad of it. -- Tim (radzy) Radzykewycz, The Incredible Radical Cabbage calma!radzy@ucbvax.ARPA {ucbvax,sun,csd-gould}!calma!radzy
