OK, they work 9 times out of 10, but things always slip through. Imho, there are more people inconvenienced by having jobs on the list (setting up filters, filters not working, unable to filter digests, etc.) than there are people inconvenienced by having a separate list for jobs (is there really anyone that can't sign up for a separate list? is it impossible to add a subscribe link to the jobs list in a footer?) (actually, I note there isn't a footer on this mailing list at all - must be one of the only mailing lists that doesn't include a footer with unsubscribe and general information. Technically, doesn't this mean it falls foul of anti-spam legislation in some territories?) G
