Hey Folks,

OK, that's it.  I want to take an informal poll, but please respond to me 
directly at DAsmussen@aol.com instead of this message or to 
BPCS-L@midrange.com.  I'll tally the results, and make my decision 
accordingly.

Question, should I continue to allow job postings on this list, or should 
they be eliminated as allowable from the guidelines?  I threatened to remove 
this option the next time someone responded to the list about a job offer 
instead of to the poster directly -- frankly, if you're not bright enough to 
do that, _I_ wouldn't hire you.  The reminder that follows kept the responses 
from coming to the list, but there were three nonetheless.  From my 
perspective, job postings are just a big pain where I have to keep sending 
these notes, chastistising those that abuse the priveledge, and feel that the 
MIDRANGE-JOBS list would be more appropriate.  How do you feel?  Do they 
help, or should job postings get the kibosh?  Again, please respond directly.

Now, the reminder.  If you send a note to the list and it doesn't come back 
to you, you are not enrolled in the list under the address from which you 
sent it.  These errors have become so common that I no longer take the time 
to inform you. If you send a message to the list, you should always get a 
copy of it echoed back from BPCS-L@MIDRANGE.COM.  The most common reason for 
this not happening is that your employer's unregulated "webmaster" has 
changed your outbound e-mail address without telling anyone.  You also cannot 
forward a message to your home/work address and attempt to answer it from 
that location if said location is not enrolled in BPCS-L.  Responses from 
"disinterested third parties" to whom you forwarded mail will also not appear 
if the "third party" is not enrolled in the list but attempts to respond to 
it.

I would reiterate that enrollment in this list, or any other list hosted at 
any MIDRANGE.COM address, in no way compromises your personal information.  
Your address will _NEVER_ be sold, your domain will never be revealed to 
anyone, and your opinions are your own.  Simply stated, enrollment is merely 
a tool by which we keep "spammers" from sending a message to 
"EVERYONE@MIDRANGE.COM".  If you have any questions regarding this note, or 
wish to vote, please respond to the address below...

Regards!
