Which brings me back to the point of little list Nazi's. Yawn - this is
all very very boring and a very poor substitute for actual relevant list
content.
The subject clearly contains the word 'JOB' and it is simple enough to
set up a filter on any number of groups to deal with it. If you are not
able to do so why not put some sensible content into the list and
discuss *how* to do it.
If you walk in to a shop selling DVDs and don't happen to approve of
wild life content do you ask the store keeper to clear the shelves of
them just to please you?
This is simply childish and totally pathetic. I suspect, however, that
the little list Nazi's will keep this topic alive beyond the point of
boredom throughout the coming hours and days.
