Something about this that bothers me -- maybe you haven't considered it:

If you put your resume on the net, you are making it (to some degree)
public. Any of these bad headhunter/employment agency organizations that
can get access to the net can copy out all posted resumes, and send them
out as they wish, thereby "representing" you even though you never heard
of them! Sounds dangerous to me!
