	Might I remind you of the purpose of net.jobs?  I quote:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Newsgroup		Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------
net.jobs		Job announcements, requests, etc.
					   ^^^^^^^^
> It takes about as much guts to post your resume to the Net as it
> does to send the same to a company you'd like to work for.

	Did it ever occur to you that people might not KNOW what companies
can use their particular skills?  Not everyone wants to apply to the KNOWN
companies like IBM, AT&T, etc., nor does everyone want to work in a `large
company' environment.

	Once again I refer you to my quote above re: the PURPOSE of net.jobs.
If you feel that this newsgroup is a waste of communication resources, then
see if you can get enough support to have it removed.

	You must have a rather low opinion of the people on Usenet to make
that statement.  Not everyone on the Net is a wet-behind-the-ears college
student with no experience or useable skills.  Perhaps it is beneath you to
`stoop' as low as to even read articles posted on Usenet, let alone post one
yourself...
	You must be rather secure in your job to be able to thumb your nose
at people not so fortunate.  I happen to be quite secure in my position in
life, but I sure as hell don't look down on people trying to find a job!
