[net.jobs] Is net.jobs for jobs?

Hello,
  	I always understood net.jobs to be a forum where employers could 
	"advertise"(for lack of a better word) positions they have available,
	but for the past while net.jobs has been inundated by articles 
	discussing the validity of Urinalysis and related drug testing for
	employees and potential employees.  I am not saying these are not valid
	points and that they should not be discussed, but could you please move
	this discussion elsewhere? Maybe the powers that be could create a
	new group (net.jobs.topics?). I read net.jobs hoping to find job
	opportunities, but these days all I get are arguments.

At the risk of swamping the net, how about creating net.workplace (or
net.jobs.workplace) to handle non-job-hunting-yet-work-related topics?
(At least one major corporation on the net has such a group.)

And, while I'm at it, let's move this newsgroup-suitability discussion
to net.news.group.
