I doubt PLUG even has a bank account. I think that the mechanics of
enforcement will be weak, but that doesn't mean that it would be
impossible to collect. Having thought about this issue some, what I plan
to do with another Linux list is notify the user subscribing of the policy
prior to them signing up. The policy will be similiar to what Debian does
with its advertising policy http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#ads. The
bill is to be paid to and sent from a couple of non-profit groups: CCIL
and EPCC (pending the approval of the non-profit boards of both
organizations). Perhaps PLUG can make arrangements with some local
non-profits or Nothinbut.net who is hosting the lists.

PLUG is obviously doing something to filter spam or this list would be
filled with it. I think adding some filtering for job postings shouldn't
be too much trouble.

That would be better than what we have now. But I do prefer the idea of
charging fees because it might generate some revenue and it sends a
message to subscribers and companies that this list has REAL value.
Thanks,
