I did see some benefit from HH's and *DO NOT* tolerate censorship well. But still I felt that something was wrong here... I think I now know what it is. A HH has two products. They sell jobs to applicants and sell applicants to employers. This is what they do as a commercial enterprize. This is what makes them different from a person or employer posting. They are directly advertizing their product. An employer or job seeker (Hello seekers!) is searching to fill their own need for something other than a product. -- E.
