This is a pretty terrible reply. Besides being rude, you're creating an artificial divide between "us" and "them". No one is 'intruding' on anyone - it's a public forum for people who work in LIBRARIES (aka - places where inclusion is supposed to rule) without any filtering of participants, so technically anyone with an email address is part of the 'ingroup'. Just because you think you're one of the cool kids doesn't mean you should try to intimidate others with obscure words (seriously, shibboleth?) and patronizing tone. 

Unless you're trying to be sarcastic...in which case ignore this. But it doesn't come across that way.

Also, asking why isn't complaining.

And to answer the original question - job listings help more people than they annoy so they should be kept as-is.
