The jobs posted on this list are all relevant and appropriate to the wide
scope of people who read this list.  We have not just seasoned
programmers, but also recent college graduates and people looking for
entry-level jobs in the field, as well as archivists and more.  It seems
like a mistake to impose additional rules and regulations on what types of
jobs are allowed to be posted here...professional organizations looking to
spread the word about jobs available in the field may become reticent to
share some here if we give the impression that we don't want them.

I agree with Kelly, and everyone else who has stated that the number of
job postings does not bother me one bit.  Whether or not the amount of job
postings coming through here is too much or too little seems like a
personal preference issue, and one that can be treated with filters on
keywords, etc, in one's own email client or RSS feed reader.

Cheers,
Katherine
