[Note from the moderator: this is something very new for this group - a
message about a postition available at the University of Manchester, UK,
as the new chairman of the computational linguistics department. I have
some reservations about having this in a group about *conferences*, but
I figured in the best netnews style I'd let the `net' decide - so if you
strongly feel that either it SHOULD or SHOULD NOT be here, drop me a note
or post something to "news.groups" about it. Thanks. -- Dave Taylor]
[by the way: I vote for SHOULD NOT appear, but I'm just the funnel...]
