** ADMIN ** Job Posting Question

Folks,

I want to thank you all for your input on this subject, and for your 
encouragement regarding continuing BPCS-L as a whole.  It was great hearing 
from so many of you that have never posted before!  Unfortunately, no clear 
winner has yet emerged.  Being a "Robert's Rules of Order" afficionado from 
way back, I need a clear majority in order to remove job postings as an 
option and I have yet to receive even a simple majority on the matter.  In 
fact, the split would be one vote were I to consolidate the "Don't Care" 
votes with the "Keep It" votes out of the 33 responses received so far.

I really expected the international community to rise up over this issue, 
since many of them (simplified) pay a "per message" fee for Internet access 
and most of the job postings are US-based.  Yet, other than an odd disparity 
between Australia and New Zealand (Australia=Kibosh, New Zealand=Keep), the 
votes of the international community have been overwhelmingly in favor of 
keeping job postings as part of the list.  France, Belgium, Denmark, New 
Zealand, and England have all asked to keep the job postings active.  Not to 
say that nobody from the aforementioned countries opposed keeping jobs on the 
list.  The overwhelming sentiment seems to be that BPCS people like to see 
what other BPCS people earn.  Perhaps I should just require that all job 
posters include a salary range?

In order to accomodate those that don't answer e-mail daily, I'll keep this 
poll open until next Friday (first Friday in June).  If you care whether or 
not jobs are posted on BPCS-L, please respond if you haven't done so already. 
 So far, there seems to be greater sentiment against the "me too" messages 
and thinly veiled advertisements from vendors and consultants that appear on 
the list...

Thanks!
